Coweta County’s Board of Commissioners opened its first regular meeting of 2026 on Jan. 6 and approved a series of routine organizational items, including officer assignments, legal counsel and clerk appointments and the county’s meeting rules.
Chair (speaker S1) said the board would begin with beginning-of-year appointments and moved to appoint Commissioner Al Smith as vice chairman for 2026; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The board then approved retaining the law firm Glover and Davis to serve as county counsel and appointed Shannon Rangi as county clerk with Fran Collins as deputy clerk.
The board adopted the rules governing commission meetings as presented, with Chair (S1) calling for a motion and members answering in the affirmative. The commissioners also approved the county’s 2026 holiday schedule, which Chair (S1) said lists 10 observed holidays.
The decisions were procedural and passed without recorded dissents. The actions set the commission’s leadership and administrative structure for the year and updated the procedural framework for meetings.
The board next moved on to appointments to regional agencies and boards, approving several nominations presented by the chair, who recommended reappointments and representatives to bodies including the TCC/ARC and the 3 Rivers Regional Commission.
The commission did not take public testimony on these items beyond the scheduled public-comment period and did not schedule additional hearings related to the appointments.
