Planning & Zoning Director Heidi told the commission that the contract to complete Coffee County’s comprehensive plan required more time: several chapters remain and additional public hearing and review steps are pending. Commissioners discussed volunteer workload for the planning board and expressed support for extending the timeline.
The commission authorized a letter, approved by county counsel, extending the Marvin Planning Consultants contract so the work is anticipated to be substantially complete on or before Dec. 31, 2026. Commissioners indicated the extension was being approved in the interest of thorough review and did not change compensation beyond contract terms; penalty clauses tied to the original Sept. 30 date will be addressed per counsel review. The motion passed 5-0.
Quote: "If we approve this extension ... the compensation does not change, right?" a commissioner asked; the director confirmed it does not.
Next step: County attorney to finalize the extension letter and the board chair to sign when satisfied with form.
