Commission vote fails to add ouster of Joseph M. Hodge to agenda
Summary
A March 10, 2026 motion to amend the Coffee County Commission agenda to add an ouster for Joseph M. Hodge failed on a 4–11 vote with one abstention; the panel proceeded with its scheduled business.
A motion to amend the Coffee County Commission agenda to add an item seeking the ouster of Joseph M. Hodge failed during the commission’s March 10, 2026 meeting.
Commissioner Brown moved to add the ouster item and Commissioner Chambers seconded. The amendment drew four yes votes — Chairman Jones, Hollandsworth, Chambers and Brown — 11 no votes, one abstention from Commissioner Malone and two absences (Perry and the person named in the proposed ouster, Joseph M. Hodge). The motion “failed to receive majority of full membership.”
The transcript records the vote tallies but does not include statements explaining the grounds for the proposed ouster or any testimony from Hodge. No subsequent formal action on the matter was recorded during the meeting; the commission continued with the approved agenda and consent items.
