Gordo resident Frank Zimmerman spoke before the Pickens County Commission during the Tuesday, June 23, 2020 meeting regarding the Easter storm damage on his property.
“I’m complaining about the Easter Sunday storm clean up at my house in Gordo on Gordo-Reform Road,” Zimmerman said. “I’ve owned that property 50 years and I just feel like somebody ought to come see me about it.”
Zimmerman said Commissioner Drew Elmore had told him that he was going to do something about the damage, but hasn’t.

The Pickens County Commission recently adopted a new logging notice system that went into effect this week which will set up guidelines for timber owners and loggers.
The Commission held an extremely brief meeting on March 26, lasting a total of six minutes. First, the Commission made a motion to adopt the ordinance, to take effect April 1, and it was unanimously approved. Then, they voted unanimously to appoint County Engineer Clint Terry to be the license inspector responsible for enforcing the ordinance.

At the Pickens County Commissioner’s Administrative meeting June 7, amidst the talk of gravel, rip rap, road graders, and herbicide, County Coroner Chad Harless brought in something different when he came to notify the Commissioners the bills from the Coroner’s department were going to be higher.
“The Coroner’s office has been absolutely crazy this year,” said Harless. “I’ve had more in-depth investigation autopsies than I do in a three-year time period.”
