Appling County authorizes executive-session actions including joining joint complaint on audit expenses
Summary
In executive session the board authorized up to $100,000 additional funding for a district-wide DA office audit if needed, approved joining Camden, Glynn and Wayne counties in a joint complaint about alleged expense irregularities, accepted a long-serving shop foreman's retirement, and approved an IGA with the City of Baxley for debris burn-site use.
The Appling County Board of Commissioners, after an executive session May 8 on personnel, litigation and real estate, approved several actions the minutes summarize publicly.
County Attorney Tracy Brown told the board the firm conducting a district-wide financial audit for the District Attorney's office may need up to $100,000 more than originally approved; the board authorized up to that amount if necessary. Brown also said the county would join Camden, Glynn and Wayne counties in filing a joint complaint about alleged irregularities in expenses; the board authorized Chairman Leslie Burch to sign any agreements to proceed.
The board accepted the retirement of County Shop Foreman Tena Dyal after more than 30 years of service and unanimously approved advertising and hiring to fill the position. County Manager Reid Lovett also asked the board to authorize an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Baxley to allow use of Appling County's burn site for Hurricane Helene debris; the board authorized the agreement and allowed the city to use the county burn permit at the approved location.
All actions recorded in the minutes were approved unanimously. The public minutes do not include further details from the executive session discussions or the specific allegations that prompted the joint complaint.
