Commissioners approve consent agenda including minutes and proclamation honoring Captain Ralph Searcy
Summary
The board approved multiple sets of minutes and a proclamation recognizing the retirement of Captain Ralph Searcy from the sheriff’s department.
The Upson County Board of Commissioners approved its consent agenda, which included multiple sets of minutes and a proclamation honoring the retirement of Captain Ralph Searcy of the sheriff’s department.
The consent items approved were: the Aug. 26 tax-levy public hearing minutes; Aug. 22 regular meeting minutes; Sept. 3 special-called meeting minutes; Sept. 3 special-called joint projects meeting minutes; Sept. 5 emergency called meeting minutes; and a proclamation for Captain Ralph Searcy, who recently retired from the sheriff’s department.
Why it matters: Approval of meeting minutes records the official proceedings of the board. The proclamation recognizes a long-serving law enforcement official; several commissioners and public commenters praised Searcy’s service during remarks at the meeting.
Public remarks at the meeting included praise for Captain Ralph Searcy’s service. A commenter said Searcy “has really dedicated his life to serve citizens of Upson County” and that “I don't think there's no one in this county that can say anything negative about him.”
The motion to approve the consent agenda was made and carried by voice vote with commissioners recorded as voting yes. The board then proceeded to new business.
