Board adopts resolution on official bonds and approves 2025 meeting schedule with November date change
Summary
Macon County commissioners unanimously approved a resolution to examine official bonds for public officials and adopted the 2025 meeting schedule, amending the November meeting to Nov. 13, 2025 to avoid Veterans Day; a commissioner pressed for daytime meetings to reduce employee overtime.
At its Dec. 2, 2024 special meeting, the Macon County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a resolution requiring the annual review and examination of official bonds for public officials and affirmed its 2025 regular meeting schedule, amending the November date to Thursday, Nov. 13, 2025.
Finance Director Lori Carpenter presented information to the board about the official bonds and explained the statutory or procedural requirements for an annual review and approval of a resolution addressing the bonds. After the presentation, Commissioner Antoine moved to approve the resolution as presented; Commissioner Shearl seconded and the vote was unanimous.
During consideration of the 2025 meeting calendar, Commissioner Shearl said evening meetings were unfair to county employees who must come in after hours and often work three to four extra hours; he proposed moving to daytime business meetings to reduce employee overtime and save taxpayer money. Interim County Manager Warren Cabe noted the originally proposed November 2025 meeting date would fall on Veterans Day; Commissioner Shearl proposed Thursday, Nov. 13, 2025 as an alternate. Commissioner Shields moved to approve the schedule as amended and Commissioner Antoine seconded; the board voted unanimously to adopt the amended calendar.
Both actions were passed by unanimous vote. The board adjourned at 6:36 p.m.
Next steps: The finance office will implement the annual bond review procedures and the clerk will publish the amended 2025 meeting schedule with the Nov. 13 date.
