Residents raise roadside trash, cell service and medication-disposal concerns during Heard County meeting
Summary
During public comment at the Feb. 24 meeting, residents urged county attention to trash on State Highway 34, spotty cell service in the Glenn area, and where to dispose of expired or unused prescription drugs; one resident also noted job postings on the county website and interest in serving on boards.
During open public comment at the Heard County Board of Commissioners meeting on Feb. 24, residents raised neighborhood concerns including roadside litter and limited cell phone service.
Gerald Harjo of 933 Mahaley Road told the board he was concerned about trash along State Highway 34. Chairman Lee Boone said the problem was frustrating to the board and other citizens, noted that state prisoners are responsible for picking up trash on state highways, and added that Heard County does not have an organized community service program to address the issue.
Another resident, Scotty Proctor of 4787 Victory Road, raised multiple items: weak cell phone service in the Glenn area, questions about where residents can turn in expired or unused prescription drugs, a note that job postings appear on the Heard County website, and an offer to serve on any county board that needs members.
The transcript records the concerns and the board’s brief response but does not show any immediate policy action, assigned follow-up, or a pledge to create a county community service program.
