Board approves personnel addendum, ROW agreement and two alcohol licenses in unanimous votes

Newton County Board of Commissioners · August 24, 2026

Summary

Newton County commissioners approved adding Phoenix Personnel LLC as an alternate vendor for public-works staffing, a developer right-of-way agreement for Grama Reserve, and two on-premise alcohol licenses (Tees Event Center and a Highway 81 location); all motions passed unanimously.

The board approved several administrative and procurement items in the later portion of the meeting:

- Phoenix Personnel LLC Addendum: County Manager Mr. Brown asked the board to add a second vendor to supply personnel augmentation for public-works needs (e.g., litter pickup, equipment operators). The board approved the addendum (motion by Commissioner Long, second by Commissioner Cooper) 5-0.

- Grama Reserve Right-of-Way Agreement: The board approved a developer agreement permitting use of county right-of-way to construct turning and auxiliary lanes; Mr. Brown presented the request and the motion passed 5-0.

- Alcohol licenses (final readings): Commissioners approved on-premise consumption alcohol licenses for Tees Event Center (3281 Salem Road) and for a Highway 81 location; both motions passed with unanimous board approval.

These items were routine approvals following staff review and procurement processes. The county will finalize contract documents and monitor implementation through the appropriate departments.
