Board asks commissioners to submit names for Fourth of July ad hoc committee, behavioral health and naming committees
Summary
The board discussed forming an ad hoc committee for the 250th anniversary Fourth of July planning, appointments to the Behavioral Mental Health Committee and several other citizen committees; commissioners were asked to submit nominees before the next meeting.
During routine business on July 21, commissioners discussed forming an ad hoc committee to plan Fourth of July events for the county’s upcoming anniversary and asked each commissioner to submit nominees for that committee and for the Behavioral Mental Health Committee and a naming committee.
Why it matters: The Fourth of July planning is intended to coordinate large, county-wide events for the county’s sesquicentennial/250th national anniversary and the county’s 175th anniversary; commissioners indicated the ad hoc committee should include co-chairs from the county and the City of Griffin and district representatives. Commissioners were asked to provide names ahead of the next meeting.
Details and next steps: County manager provided a recommended structure (co-chairs, project director, district and city representatives). Commissioners were asked to send one or more nominees to county staff before the next meeting so the board can finalize appointments.
Ending: Commissioners agreed to provide names; formal appointments were to be finalized at a subsequent meeting.
