City denies GBI request
Charter negates 2-1 vote
City Statesboro logo
With the City Charter requiring at least three votes to pass any motion, Statesboro City Council on Tuesday night did not approve a resolution releasing a document requested by the GBI, despite two votes in favor and one opposed. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has an inquiry underway into some of the city’s billing practices. According to a resolution that was before the council, the agency requested a copy of the full June 22, 2013, report from a city investigation into issues surrounding a water and sewer account held by South Georgia Realty LLC. After noting that the city attorney’s factual findings were released previously, the resolution asserted that the full report is “attorney work product.”
