The board. The county's Board of Commissioners page seats five: "Chairman Commissioner - Evans Martin, District 3"; "Vice Chairman Commissioner - Terri Lodge Kelly, District 2"; "Commissioner - Rodney Braswell, District 1"; "Commissioner - Q.U. "Art" Lively, III, District 5"; and "Commissioner - R. Tommy Nix, District 4" (P.O. Box 565, Sardis, GA 30456). The board's office: 602 N. Liberty Street, Waynesboro, GA 30830, (706) 554-2324, fax (706) 554-0350; the minutes record County Manager Merv Waldrop, Assistant Manager Flakes and County Attorney Adam Nelson at the table. The county's own address is itself on the veterans' name: the Recreation Committee's letterhead reads "465 Burke Veteran Parkway, P.O. Box 625, Waynesboro, GA 30830". The record. The board's 2025 and 2026 agendas and minutes - 154 files downloaded from burkecounty-ga.gov's Meetings/Agendas/Minutes page and read whole (most are Word documents, converted and read) - carry two veteran items. The June 10, 2025 regular meeting: "Manager Waldrop stated the lease renewal term for the Veterans Service office would be July 1, 2025 thru June 30, 2026 in the amount of $260.00 per month. Commissioner Nix moved to approve the renewal of lease for the Veterans Service office with Commissioner Kelly seconding. Motion passed unanimously" - the same item numbered 17 on the meeting's agenda, "Renewal of Lease for Veterans Services Office". The November 11, 2025 regular meeting - Veterans Day itself - closed its public business with "Chair Martin then recognized all attending veterans." The September 9, 2025 speed-zone ordinance records the county's veterans name in the law itself: "the portion of Hwy 56 from Burke Veterans Parkway to Timberwood Drive to be set at 45 mph". No benefit is known to have been adopted, narrowed or repealed. The county's own organizations. American Legion Posts 120 and 270 meet in Waynesboro and Post 180 in Sardis, per the Department of Georgia's post list. No veterans organization appears in the board's 2025-2026 files by name.
