Summary
During the Aug. 28 Committee of the Whole, the DeKalb Board voted to call a special meeting and unanimously designated Commissioner Nicole Messia as DeKalb’s voting delegate to the Association County Commissioners of Georgia (ACCG) for 2025.
The DeKalb County Board of Commissioners voted on procedural items during the Committee of the Whole on Aug. 28, approving a motion to move into a special‑called meeting and unanimously designating Commissioner Nicole Messia as the county’s 2025 voting delegate to the Association County Commissioners of Georgia (ACCG).
What passed: - Motion to convene a special‑called meeting: Commissioners voted in favor (voice vote) to proceed to a special meeting to consider a resolution designating a delegate for ACCG. The motion passed by voice vote. - Designation of ACCG voting delegate: Commissioners nominated and voted to appoint Commissioner Nicole Messia as DeKalb County’s voting delegate for ACCG’s 2025 conference. The board approved the substitute resolution and the chair announced the vote as unanimous.
Why it matters: ACCG is the statewide association for county governments in Georgia; member counties typically designate a voting delegate to represent the county at ACCG meetings and in association business. The board flagged that a broader policy to outline an annual selection process for ACCG and National Association of Counties (NACo) delegates will be developed and considered separately.
No policy changes were adopted as a result of the vote; the action designates a representative to act as the county’s voting proxy at ACCG events.
