Commissioners approve BFJRA amendments, appoint Craig Cutchall to authority board
Summary
Fulton County commissioners approved two amendments to the Bedford Fulton Joint Recreational Authority rticles of incorporation to expand board membership and authorize the authority to appoint police officers; they also appointed Craig Cutchall to a one-year term on the BFJRA board.
Representatives of the Bedford Fulton Joint Recreational Authority (BFJRA) — Matthew Wakefield, Paul Johnston and Eric Weisbrod — met with the Fulton County Board of Commissioners on Dec. 30, 2025, to request amendments to the authority rticles of incorporation and to propose an appointee.
Commissioners approved Resolution 9 of 2025 to increase the number of BFJRA board members and approved Resolution 10 of 2025 to amend the articles to authorize the authority to appoint police officers who "will have the same rights as other police officers in the Commonwealth with respect to the property of said Authority." Commissioners then appointed Craig Cutchall to a one-year term on the Bedford Fulton Joint Recreational Authority, with the term expiring Jan. 3, 2027. All motions were approved unanimously.
Why it matters: The amendments expand the BFJRA board and explicitly allow the authority to appoint police officers with the property-related rights of Commonwealth police; those changes could affect how the authority manages facilities and security on authority-owned property.
Administrative note: The BFJRA representatives were recorded as present; the transcript contains the resolutions' titles and the appointment motion but does not include extended debate or commentary from the appointee.
