Residents praise new solid-waste contractor, request water service, and raise tax and representation concerns
Summary
Public commenters praised the new solid-waste contractor but raised yard-waste container concerns, asked for county water on Kovac Road, requested tax relief and appeals assistance, and the Houston County NAACP president raised concerns about graffiti on a vehicle detained in Centerville and district representation on the Board.
During the public-comment period the Board heard several residents and community leaders. Barry Brown praised the new solid waste collection company for their work and voiced a concern about yard-waste collection containers. John Gary requested County water service to Kovac Road. Thomas Reynolds raised multiple issues including Elberta Road, property tax appeals and tax-relief options for seniors.
Jonathan Johnson, identified in the minutes as Houston County NAACP President, spoke about a vehicle bearing graffiti that was recently detained in the City of Centerville, a statue in the City of Perry, and his views on district representation on the Board of Commissioners. Following public comment, commissioners offered brief responses: commissioners thanked attendees, affirmed commitments to representation, and acknowledged the graffiti incident as offensive.
