After executive session, Commission authorizes county manager to make director‑level personnel change
Summary
The Commission entered executive session on personnel and land Aug. 5; after reconvening it unanimously amended the agenda to permit the county manager to make a director‑level personnel change and then approved the manager's action as discussed in closed session.
The Commission entered executive session at 6:41 p.m. during its Aug. 5 regular meeting to discuss matters exempt from the Open Meetings Act, specifically personnel and land matters. The board reconvened at 7:12 p.m., and Chairman Charles Coffey stated the closed session subjects were within legal exceptions to open‑meetings law.
After reconvening the Commission unanimously approved two related motions. First, the board voted to amend the agenda to allow the county manager to make a personnel change regarding a director position (motion by Commissioner Gerald Douglas, seconded by Commissioner Damon Hoyte). Second, the board voted unanimously to allow County Manager Thomas Weaver to make the appropriate personnel change that had been discussed in executive session (motion by Commissioner Jason Frost, seconded by Commissioner Gerald Douglas).
No further personnel details were disclosed in open session; the minutes note only that the matters discussed were allowable exceptions under Georgia law and that no votes were taken in executive session itself. The actions recorded in open session give the county manager authority to carry out the changes discussed during the closed meeting.
