Board directs updates to Public Works director job description; GMRC to assist with draft
Summary
Commissioners agreed to mark up and update the county Public Works director job description and asked the Georgia Mountains Regional Commission (GMRC) to supply a draft to accelerate revision and recruitment.
The Board reviewed the existing Public Works director job description, which staff said bears a timestamp from 2001 and needs updating. Commissioners agreed to mark up the draft to add responsibilities (road inventory, long‑term planning and other modern duties), and to have County Administrator and Commissioner Brown contact the Georgia Mountains Regional Commission (GMRC) to obtain a draft template to aid revision.
Why it matters: Commissioners said a current job description will help recruitment, clarify expectations for road planning and make the county more competitive for qualified candidates (noting preference for candidates with a professional engineer (PE) credential where appropriate).
Next steps: Commissioners will send edits to County Administrator and copy each commissioner. GMRC will be asked to send a draft; staff will compile comments and return a revised job description prior to the first August meeting.
