Commissioners approve appointments, pay $2.08M in bills and hold attorney–client executive session
Summary
The board appointed two members to the Region 5 EMS Board, approved payment of bills totaling $2,084,622.53, heard public comments on littering and tax paperwork, and entered an executive session for attorney–client consultation (affidavit records session at 5:36 p.m.).
On April 21 the Houston County Board approved appointments of Patrick Bullis and Nathan Stanaway to the Region 5 EMS Board for terms from 06/30/2026 to 06/30/2029, and approved payment of bills totaling $2,084,622.53. Mr. Gottwals made the motion for the appointments and the board approved both motions unanimously.
The board entered and exited an executive session for attorney–client consultation under O.C.G.A. § 50-14-2(1). An executive-session affidavit filed in the record states the session was called to order at 5:36 p.m. and devoted to consultation with legal counsel on pending or potential litigation; the affidavit further records that an attempt to discuss a non-exempt topic was immediately ruled out of order and the session was adjourned without discussion or action on any non-exempt matter. In public comment, Billy Woodard raised littering concerns and Martin Durkin sought assistance with homestead exemption paperwork; Chairman Perdue offered to follow up after the meeting.
