The Clayton County Board of Commissioners on Jan. 7 adopted a revised agenda and approved a consent agenda that included two emergency resolutions, a professional services agreement recommendation and several board reappointments.
The board voted to amend the agenda to add two emergency resolutions: Resolution 2025‑10, which would allow municipalities that use the county’s public safety radio frequency to cite the county’s Federal Communications Commission license in applications to the Georgia Department of Public Safety for speed detection permit renewals; and Resolution 2025‑11, to authorize an easement to Georgia Power tied to construction work at Fire Station 1. The two resolutions were presented to the board as emergency additions so municipalities and contractors could meet renewal and construction timelines. Chairwoman Dr. Alika Anderson Henry asked the board to add both items to the consent agenda before the vote to adopt the full agenda.
Also on the consent agenda, the board approved a recommendation for award of Professional Services Agreement (PSA) No. 24‑225 for financial services to Piper Sandler and Company of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The county indicated Piper Sandler will be paid on an as‑needed basis at a rate of $250 per hour; funding is available in the finance department’s general fund.
The board approved multiple routine appointments and reappointments included on the consent agenda: the reappointment of Drew Andrews to the Library Board of Trustees; the reappointment of Mary Ann Carp to the Solid Waste Management Authority; and the reappointment of Thomas Holt to the Veterans Advisory Board.
Other procedural actions during the meeting included the removal of agenda Item No. 17 (the motion to remove Item No. 17 passed) and a failed motion to remove Item No. 18 earlier in the meeting.

The board also recessed into executive session later in the evening for litigation, personnel and real estate matters, and subsequently reconvened and completed business for the day.
Ending: The board continued with other business after adoption of the consent agenda and scheduled several agenda items and board appointments to future meetings as needed.
