Commission authorizes Georgia Forestry fire‑tower agreement, county cost capped at $4,738.58
Summary
The commission approved a one‑year agreement with the Georgia Forestry Commission for fire‑tower services covering July 1, 2024–June 30, 2025, with county payment capped at $4,738.58.
The Unified Government of Cusseta‑Chattahoochee County voted to approve a Fire Tower Agreement with the Georgia Forestry Commission, authorizing a county payment not to exceed $4,738.58 for the contract period July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025.
The agreement, adopted by resolution and signed by the chairman, directs the Georgia Forestry Commission to provide a fire‑tower operator assigned to the county unit and requires the Forestry Commission to submit documentation of assistance received. The commission's resolution authorizes the chairman to execute the agreement on the county's behalf.
County Manager Thomas Weaver and Chairman Charles Coffey appear in the minutes as supporting the agreement; the document clarifies that the fire‑tower operator will be employed as a temporary day‑laborer and that Forestry will submit billing at the end of the contract period.
The agreement was recorded in the June 4–24 meeting materials and ratified in the minutes as part of routine new‑business actions.
