Cusseta‑Chattahoochee commission approves SPLOST account, LMIG project change, reappoints planners and creates Public Safety Director role
Summary
At its Feb. 4 regular meeting the commission approved opening a 2025 SPLOST bank account, changed an LMIG road project, reappointed three Planning & Zoning members to terms through 2027, and voted to create a Public Safety Director position. Minutes and an executive session on legal matters were also recorded.
The Commission of the Unified Government of Cusseta‑Chattahoochee County approved a series of administrative and personnel items at its Feb. 4 regular meeting.
Commissioners voted to authorize a 2025 SPLOST bank account and to reassign the LMIG project from Riverbend Road to Friendship Road so the county can prepare bid packets. The board reappointed three members to the Planning & Zoning Commission—Randy Register, Teresa Smith and Willie Brown—each for terms expiring Dec. 31, 2027. The commission also voted to create a Public Safety Director position; staff will draft a job description and a hiring process.
Routine approvals of previous minutes were moved and seconded during the meeting. The minutes record that Commissioner Jason Frost made the initial motion on several routine items and that Commissioner Timothy Biddle abstained from approving the Jan. 7, 2025 minutes because he had been absent from that meeting.
The board moved into executive session on legal matters at 6:11 p.m. (motion: Commissioner Frost; second: Commissioner Douglas) and reconvened at 7:07 p.m. Chairman Charles Coffey stated the matters discussed in closed session fell within open‑meetings exceptions and that no votes were taken during the executive session; the written affidavit in the minutes lists consultation with counsel and potential litigation as the topics discussed.
All votes reported in the Feb. 4 minutes are recorded as approved by the commission and are subject to standard administrative follow‑up: Finance will finalize the SPLOST account setup and public‑works/engineering will prepare LMIG bid materials. The county manager reported ongoing operational items at the Feb. 24 work session, including a pending stray‑facility remediation report and road‑work and maintenance updates.
