Jenkinsburg council approves office furniture, maintenance equipment and park benches
Summary
At its Sept. 22 meeting the Jenkinsburg City Council approved routine minutes and financial reports and voted to buy new office furniture ($7,416.26), a grass clippings bagger ($4,336.90) and park benches ($7,770). All motions passed as recorded; one agenda line and the formal motion differ on the number of benches.
Mayor Eddie Ford called the City of Jenkinsburg’s council meeting to order at 7:00 p.m., noting a quorum was present. “With a quorum present, Mayor Eddie Ford called the City of Jenkinsburg’s Council meeting to order at 7:00 pm,” the minutes state.
The council approved routine business before taking procurement votes. A motion by Mayor Pro-Tem Jason Watts, seconded by Council Member Gary Brown, adopted the meeting agenda. The council then approved the Aug. 11, 2025 minutes (motion by Jason Watts, seconded by Brent Eberspacher) and accepted the August 2025 financial reports (motion by Brent Eberspacher, seconded by Gary Roberts); each motion passed on recorded aye votes.
On purchases, Council Member Gary Brown moved and Mayor Pro-Tem Jason Watts seconded a motion to buy new office furniture from Atlanta Office Liquidators, Inc. for $7,416.26; the vote recorded Brown—aye, Roberts—aye, Eberspacher—aye, England—aye and Watts—aye, and the motion passed. The council approved buying a bagger for grass clippings from Trac Vac for $4,336.90 on a motion by Brent Eberspacher, seconded by Jason Watts; the recorded votes were Watts—aye, England—aye, Eberspacher—aye and Brown—aye, and the motion passed (Gary Roberts was not listed in that recorded vote).
The agenda included a line labeled “Discuss purchasing 7 park benches,” but the formal motion recorded by the clerk approved purchase of six park benches from Barco Products for $7,770.00. That motion was made by Brent Eberspacher, seconded by Jason Watts, and the recorded votes were Watts—aye, England—aye, Eberspacher—aye and Brown—aye. The minutes do not explain the discrepancy between the agenda item (seven benches) and the motion text (six benches).
Having completed the agenda, Mayor Eddie Ford adjourned the meeting at 8:13 p.m.; the minutes note the meeting was recorded by City Clerk Debi Smith. The minutes list no public-comment items that required action and no additional follow-up assignments or deadlines are specified in the record.
