Fulton County approves charter amendments for Bedford-Fulton Joint Recreation Authority, appoints member
Summary
The commissioners approved two amendments to the Bedford Fulton Joint Recreation Authority's articles of incorporation—one to increase board membership and another to authorize the authority to appoint police officers—and appointed Craig Cutchall to the Authority.
Fulton County commissioners on Dec. 30 approved two charter amendments for the Bedford Fulton Joint Recreation Authority and appointed a new member to the authority.
Representatives Matthew Wakefield, Paul Johnston and Eric Weisbrod of the Bedford Fulton Joint Recreation Authority asked the commissioners to adopt the proposed amendments. Commissioner Steven L. Wible moved to approve and execute Resolution 9 of 2025, which amends the articles of incorporation to increase the number of Authority board members; the board approved the resolution unanimously.
Commissioner Wible then moved to approve and execute Resolution 10 of 2025, which amends the articles of incorporation 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.
After approving the two resolutions, Commissioner Wible moved to appoint Craig Cutchall to a one-year term on the Bedford Fulton Joint Recreation Authority, with the term expiring Jan. 3, 2027; the board approved the appointment.
The resolutions direct the Authority and its officers to execute and file the appropriate articles of amendment with the state, according to the language presented to the board.
