Commission votes to end FT Benning stray facility contract, citing unmet requirements

The Commission of the Unified Government of Cusseta-Chattahoochee County voted unanimously Nov. 4 to end its contract with the FT Benning stray facility after commissioners said the county could not meet the facility’s requirements. Commissioner Gerald Douglas made the motion to terminate the agreement and Commissioner Jason Frost seconded; the minutes record that "the vote was unanimous."

Commissioners did not provide further detail in the public minutes about which specific contract requirements were unmet. The motion included direction for county staff to work with the facility through the required notice process. The action was taken during the meeting’s new-business portion and followed routine minutes approvals earlier in the session. The item was recorded as a formal motion and approved on the record; the commission then entered an executive session later in the meeting to discuss legal and land issues.
