Paulding County board corrects executive-session purpose, adopts resolution and approves small rezoning with pigs excluded

The Paulding County Board of Commissioners amended and adopted a resolution confirming an executive session for the purpose of "real estate and litigation," after a commissioner noted the agenda item incorrectly listed "personnel." The chair accepted the correction, a motion to approve the corrected resolution was made and seconded, and the chair called for an "Aye" vote.

Later in the meeting, the board considered Planning Commission referral 2026-01-Z, an application from Jennifer Fitzpatrick to rezone 8.89 acres from R-2 (suburban residential) to A-1 (agricultural) to permit chickens and certain livestock on property described as Land Lot 178, District 19, Section 3, South of Willow Springs Road (92 Whipple/Whipple Wheel Path). Speaker 6 explicitly clarified that the rezoning excludes pigs. Following that clarification, a motion to approve the rezoning was made, seconded, and the chair called for the vote; the chair announced 'Aye.'

The record shows the correction to the resolution’s stated executive-session purpose and the explicit exclusion of pigs in the rezoning motion. The transcript does not include the full roll-call tally by name for each vote in the record.
