Fulton County approves BFJRA board expansion and authorizes authority to appoint police officers
Summary
Commissioners unanimously approved two resolutions amending the Bedford Fulton Joint Recreation Authorityarticles to expand the board and to authorize the authority to appoint police officers with the same rights as Commonwealth police; they also appointed Craig Cutchall to a one-year BFJRA term.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners on Dec. 30 approved two resolutions to amend the Bedford Fulton Joint Recreation Authority(BFJRA) articles of incorporation.
Representatives Matthew Wakefield, Paul Johnston and Eric Weisbrod of the BFJRA met with the commissioners to present proposed amendments. Commissioner Steven L. Wible moved to approve Resolution 9 of 2025 to increase the number of members on the BFJRA board; the motion carried unanimously. Wible then moved to approve Resolution 10 of 2025 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"; that motion also passed unanimously.
Following those approvals, the board appointed Craig Cutchall to a one-year term on the BFJRA, with the term expiring Jan. 3, 2027. Commissioner Wible made the appointment motion; the vote was unanimous.
The resolutions instruct appropriate officers to execute and file articles of amendment, and they repeal inconsistent prior resolutions as needed. The transcript records the titles and the motions but does not include debate or detailed discussion of operational impacts of the changes.
