Whitfield County renews administrator's contract despite public objection
Summary
The Board renewed County Administrator Robert Sivick's two-year contract with a 5% salary increase on June 12. A public commenter, Vicky Alt, opposed the renewal during public comment; the board approved the renewal 4-0.
The Whitfield County Board of Commissioners voted June 12 to renew County Administrator Robert Sivick's employment contract for two years and approved a 5% salary increase.
Commissioner Barry W. Robbins moved to renew the contract and Commissioner Robby Staten seconded the motion. Commissioners voted 4-0 in favor of the renewal.
During the public-comment period, Vicky Alt addressed the board to express opposition to renewing the county administrator's contract; the record shows the comment but no vote or formal rebuttal followed. The motion and vote to renew were recorded later in the meeting and passed unanimously.
Why it matters: Renewing the county administrator's contract fixes the chief executive's compensation and employment term for the next two years; public opposition was recorded during the meeting's public comment period.
What comes next: The contract renewal takes effect per the board's personnel and payroll processes; no additional board action on the contract was recorded.
