Commission approves DFACS reappointment, retirement change and year-end budget cleanup
Summary
At the Sept. 2 meeting the commission unanimously approved the reappointment of Martha Burgamy to DFACS, switched the county retirement plan provider, and passed a fiscal-year end budget cleanup amendment (Exhibit A itemizes line-item adjustments). Several other administrative items were approved as recorded.
The Commission of the Unified Government of Cusseta–Chattahoochee County approved a package of administrative items at its Sept. 2, 2025 regular meeting, voting unanimously on routine and clerical matters that the clerk and manager said were necessary for ongoing operations.
Key approvals recorded in the minutes included the reappointment of Martha Burgamy to the Department of Family and Children Services board for a two-year term (Sept. 2, 2025–June 30, 2027); a county retirement plan change from Corebridge to ACCG; a year-end budget amendment to reallocate existing FY2024–25 appropriations (minutes cite Exhibit A showing individual account adjustments); renewal of the DFACS lease agreement; adoption of a Caselle payment portal; and enrollment in the IPAWS/GEMA alert system. The commission also approved updated travel policy mileage rates; meal rates remained unchanged.
Why it matters: These actions are administrative but affect county personnel benefits, program administration and how the county collects payments and communicates emergencies. The budget amendment reallocates existing funds across departments to close out the fiscal year; Exhibit A lists specific line-item adjustments across courthouse utilities, court/clerk lines, sheriff and EMS salaries, solid waste disposal, library and water/sewer accounts.
What comes next: Staff will implement the retirement-provider change through human-resources processes, execute the DFACS lease renewal, and apply the Exhibit A adjustments to the county’s financial records. The commission recorded unanimous votes on these items at the Sept. 2 meeting; staff will bring contract documents and provider-transition details to the appropriate administrative offices for execution.
Noted follow-ups: The minutes show the county manager is handling outstanding audit items (single audit underway) and that the sewage grant applied for was not funded in this round.
