Grady County Commissioners Meeting October 26, 2026

At the October 26, 2026 Grady County Commissioners meeting, commissioners approved an exception allowing Grady County Memorial Hospital to refer qualifying indigent cremations to Ferguson Funeral Home at $575 per cremation, with other cases remaining under existing policy. They also approved a Pitney Bowes postage-machine lease for the Health Department and a service agreement and hardware for tracking county vehicles and equipment; commissioners discussed the agreement’s term and timing. The annual outdoor-lighting maintenance agreement was tabled pending clarification of its coverage period. A purchase-order review included a $919.04 Tuttle senior-citizens item and a separate payroll-related item; the transcript indicates disagreement over recurring issues, but the exact disposition of the two items is unclear. Blanket purchase orders were approved, and commissioners discussed ordering “Grady County parking only” signs.

Commissioners awarded the temporary Judicial Center exterior-door bid to Trinity for $12,890, choosing it over LDS’s $15,743 bid. They approved a bid request (No. 26/7009) to install a water tank on a 2020 Mack Pinnacle truck for District 2, and approved correcting a deposit letter to reflect a state EFT distributed to counties by population. The agenda also included establishing a Public Safety Answering Point capital-outlay account and setting E911 as the requisitioning department, though the transcript does not clearly capture the vote. Commissioners approved LEPC bylaws and discussed possible reductions in the federal share of FEMA disaster costs, without taking a related spending action.
