The DeKalb County Board of Commissioners held a regular meeting on January 28, 2025, where several community members voiced their concerns regarding local infrastructure projects and financial transparency.

The meeting began with a public comment session, where residents expressed their disapproval of a proposed roundabout project, identified as contract number 123-1540. One speaker emphasized the need for the commissioners to reject the project, citing recent inclement weather as a reason for the lack of engagement with the Public Works and Infrastructure (PWI) team. The speaker requested a meeting with the PWI committee to further discuss their opposition.

Another resident, Clarence Williams, raised significant concerns about the accuracy of a hydraulic model related to the county's wastewater management. He questioned the reliability of the model used for the Snap Finger Wastewater Treatment Plant and criticized the county for not providing financial data over the past 14 years. Williams called for an independent forensic financial audit and a review of the information presented to the court regarding the county's water management issues.

The meeting also featured Ayesha Walton, who represented her organization, 5678 Dance Now, although her specific comments were not detailed in the transcript.

Overall, the meeting highlighted ongoing community concerns about infrastructure projects and the need for greater financial accountability from county officials. The commissioners are expected to address these issues in future discussions, particularly regarding the proposed roundabout and wastewater management practices.
