Commissioners approve GIS technician position and routine budget amendments; all motions pass unanimously
Summary
The Spalding County Board of Commissioners amended the agenda, approved prior meeting minutes, approved FY2025 budget amendments for prior-year encumbrances, and authorized creation of a GIS general analyst/technician to be housed with the Spalding County Water Authority; all recorded motions passed 5-0.
The Spalding County Board of Commissioners on Feb. 3 approved several consent and staffing items, including a new GIS general analyst/technician position that will work out of the Spalding County Water Authority’s office and support public works, road inventory, stormwater and community development functions.
The board amended the agenda to add the GIS item and a presentation, approved the minutes of the Jan. 27 extraordinary session, and approved FY2025 budget amendments for prior-year encumbrances. Each recorded motion passed by a 5-0 vote.
On the GIS position, a commissioner moved to approve creating a position partnered with the Spalding County Water Authority so the new hire would work from the Water Authority office alongside existing GIS staff. County Manager Dr. Steve Ledbetter explained the position will answer to the county for overarching duties while reporting day-to-day to Chris Reagan, the Water Authority’s GIS manager. The board discussed that the Water Authority already employs a GIS manager and a GIS senior analyst; commissioners said the new hire could be an early-career applicant to grow into responsibilities.
The vote to create the GIS position was recorded as 5-0 in favor. The board then moved on to routine business and adjourned.
