Whitfield County commissioners approve agenda, move into executive session on personnel and real estate
Summary
The Whitfield County Board of Commissioners met July 28, 2025, approved the meeting agenda and entered a closed executive session to discuss personnel and real estate; the minutes record motions passing 4-0 but do not disclose any formal outcomes from the closed session.
The Whitfield County Board of Commissioners convened a special called meeting on July 28, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. in the courthouse meeting room at 205 N. Selvidge Street and approved the meeting agenda before moving into an executive session to discuss personnel and real estate.
Commissioner Greg Jones moved to approve the agenda as presented; Commissioner Robby Staten seconded. The minutes record the motion as approved 4-0, listing Commissioners Robby Staten, John Thomas, Greg Jones and Barry W. Robbins as voting in agreement. The minutes do not record the chairman’s vote for that motion.
Later in the meeting Jones moved that the board go into executive session to discuss personnel and real estate; Commissioner John Thomas seconded. That motion is recorded as passing 4-0. The minutes state that Commissioner Barry W. Robbins participated in the session via teleconference and list those present for the executive session as Chairman Jevin Jensen, Commissioners Thomas, Jones and Staten, County Administrator Robert (Bob) Sivick and County Attorney Robert Smalley. The minutes do not record any formal decisions or votes taken while in executive session.
After the closed session, Jones moved and Staten seconded a motion to come out of executive session; the minutes again show the motion approved 4-0 and record the meeting as adjourned. The roll-call line in the minutes for that motion lists Commissioner Thomas twice, an apparent transcription error that omits an explicit listing of Commissioner Robbins in that line despite earlier notes that he participated by teleconference.
The minutes were signed by Chairman Jevin Jensen and Blanca Cardona, County Clerk. The record provides no details of any actions taken in the executive session or any next steps; none were disclosed in the minutes.
