Rockdale County Board Of Commissioners Meeting 10/27/2026

Rockdale County Board of Commissioners meeting, October 27, 2026. Procurement discussion included a $226,925 change order to Jericho Design Group’s contract 2023-11 for revised courthouse parking-garage plans and Main Street retail space. The board also reviewed a $10.275 million credit to McCarthy Barnsley JV’s contract 2023-149 to remove the parking deck and Milstead Avenue site work from its scope; staff said the redesigned garage work was ready to be bid separately. Other listed purchases included a $190,782 2027 dump truck from Peach State Truck Center through a Georgia state contract, $47,689 plus $1,149.88 monthly for AT&T 911-center network changes, $40,312.60 for Axon interview-room software, $18,265 for jail camera fiber installation, and $33,350 for Trudeau Design’s county magazine. Grant-funded items included fire-prevention, emergency-management, senior-services, and youth-program expenses; the transcript gives some grant totals unclearly. The CFO reported the general fund was spending slightly below the 75%-of-year benchmark, with departments and other funds being monitored amid inflationary pressures.

The board approved an agenda amendment removing item 532, a Pinnacle contract. The transcript later records an opposition during a vote on the business items but does not clearly identify the motion or item, so the outcomes of the individual listed purchases cannot be confirmed from the audio. During discussion of Flock license-plate cameras, a sheriff’s representative said the county uses them as investigative tools and places them based on crime statistics; the representative also acknowledged that a policy addressing use restrictions was being revised and was not yet in place. A resident requested changes to water-leak bill adjustments and online payment fees, but no board action on those requests is captured.
