The Walker County Board of Commissioners will meet for its regularly scheduled session on Thursday, April 2, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. at the Walker County Courthouse Annex III on South Main Street in LaFayette.
The meeting will begin with the invocation and pledge, followed by approval of the agenda and minutes from the March 5 regular meeting and the March 24 special called work session. Commissioners will also issue proclamations recognizing Public Safety Telecommunicators Week and Donate Life Month.
Chief Financial Officer Christian Roach will present the county’s financial report for the month ending January 31, 2026, and Rushton Accounting & Business Advisors will present the results of the Fiscal Year 2025 Walker County Government audit.
Planning and zoning matters will take center stage during the meeting. Commissioners will hold a public hearing on a rezoning request from Charles Skiles, who is seeking to rezone property on Andrews Lane in Chickamauga from Agricultural to Residential/Agricultural. The board will also consider a previously tabled request from Joan Brown to rezone property on Highway 151 in LaFayette from Agricultural to Neighborhood Commercial.
Under the consent agenda, commissioners are expected to consider several routine items, including a consulting services agreement with Atlantic Coast Consulting and the purchase of nine vehicles for the Walker County Sheriff’s Office using SPLOST funds. The vehicle purchases total more than $382,000 and would be acquired through Jenkins Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep and Jacky Jones Automotive.
New business includes a joint resolution with the City of Chickamauga to name the Battlefield Connector Trail after John Culpepper, along with multiple resolutions involving county-owned property in Rossville, a proposed abandonment of a portion of Concord Road, and amendments to the Fiscal Year 2026 budget and 2020 SPLOST project list. Commissioners will also consider culvert relining projects in Flintstone and LaFayette.
The meeting will include public comment, commissioner comments, and a possible executive session before adjournment.
