Capital Outlay Committee adopts additional political-sign rules at CCAP after groundskeeping complaint
Summary
The committee approved added rules for political signage at the CCAP building after grounds maintenance reported problems with the number and duration of signs. The motion passed 4–1; specific fee amounts or enforcement timelines were not specified.
The Coffee County Capital Outlay Committee voted June 4 to adopt additional rules governing political signs at the CCAP building after grounds maintenance raised concerns about the number of signs and how long they remain in place. Commissioner Tim Brown moved to accept the proposed additional rules; Commissioner Frank Watkins seconded. The motion passed with Brown, Watkins, Terry Hershman and Tina Reed voting yes and Commissioner Jimmy Hollandsworth voting no.
Commissioner Terry Hershman reported that grounds maintenance had raised an issue "with the signage that is out front of CCAP for political purposes," saying the volume of signs and the duration they remain placed motivated a proposal to increase groundskeeping charges in certain circumstances. The minutes do not list specific fee amounts or provide a detailed enforcement timetable.
The motion recorded in the meeting minutes indicates the committee accepted the additional rules in principle; the transcript does not specify whether staff were directed to draft exact fee schedules or an implementation ordinance. No public comment was offered on the item during the meeting.
Procedural motions to approve the modified meeting agenda and the minutes from May 7, 2026, also passed unanimously earlier in the session. The committee adjourned following routine business. The committee will take up further related items, if any, at its next meeting on July 2, 2026.
