City resident urges county support for recycling as millage rises; chair says city should address city services
Summary
A Warner Robins resident urged county leaders to fund city recycling programs during the public hearing; Chairman Perdue said recycling in the city is a city responsibility and noted the county's recycling service is for unincorporated residents.
Fabio Gomez, who said he lives in the City of Warner Robins, told the Board he was "concerned about the lack of recycling in the city" and asked that funds be directed to recycling efforts given the millage increase. Chairman Perdue replied that because Gomez lives inside the city his concern needs to be addressed by city officials and added that the county provides recycling service to residents of unincorporated Houston County who sign up for it.
The exchange occurred during the public hearing on the proposed millage; the board closed the hearing after other public comments and then adjourned. The meeting minutes and transcript do not record any county action or pledge to redirect county millage revenue toward city recycling programs.
