The Washington County Board of Commissioners approved a landscaping services contract with Johnson Turf Solutions in a divided 3–2 vote on Feb. 12.
Commissioner James Hitchcock Jr. moved to approve Johnson Turf Solutions and Commissioner Harlan Archer seconded. The motion passed 3–2; Commissioners Bobby Jackson and Frank Simmons Jr. registered Nay votes. The meeting record does not list the contract value, term length, or evaluation criteria discussed prior to the vote.
