The Clayton County Board of Commissioners approved a range of routine and consent items at its Feb. 22 meeting, including a central-services request to amend an existing medical-examiner contract to reflect a CPI-based price increase, participation in a pro-rata share of a federal lobbying professional-services agreement, and multiple board and authority appointments. The board approved the consent agenda and then took separate votes on two added items (an ordinance second reading and a lobbying-services resolution).
Select outcomes from the meeting (votes and formal actions recorded on the agenda):
- Consent agenda approval: The board approved the consent agenda as presented.
- Medical-examiner contract (PSA 22-318) renewal and CPI increase: The board authorized a contract amendment with Coswell Truman LLC (doing business as Clayton County Medical Examiner) to add a CPI-based price increase. Staff said the vendor requested a 4.1% increase based on the consumer-price-index adjustment submitted within the contract's renewal window; central services verified the CPI calculation and recommended approval. The board approved the amendment and authorized the chair or designee to execute the documents and the interim CFO to amend the budget accordingly.
- Professional-services resolution (federal lobbyist participation): The board voted to participate in a professional-services agreement between Denmark Ashby LLC (and related firm names) and municipal partners to continue federal lobbying services intended to pursue changes to aviation fuel tax treatment. Staff said the county's requested cost share was $1,834.73 per month (pro rata) and that the school board and several cities were already participating; the agreement term is one year.
- Board and authority appointments: The board took multiple appointments and reappointments to the Clayton County Water Authority, Development Authority and other boards. Examples: - Water Authority: Reappointment motion for Dr. Cephas Jackson (term through 02/28/2030) carried. - Development Authority: Multiple reappointments and appointments carried (timing and terms recorded on agenda; see minutes for full list).
- Executive session actions and budget amendments: After a closed session on litigation and real estate, the board authorized settlement payments and fiscal adjustments described on the record (listed in minutes) and directed the CFO to amend the budget as required.
