Cusseta‑Chattahoochee commissioners approve SPLOST bank account, LMIG change and create Public Safety Director position
Summary
At its Feb. 4 regular meeting the commission approved opening a 2025 SPLOST bank account, swapped a roadway on the LMIG list, reappointed three Planning & Zoning members and created a Public Safety Director position; motions were recorded as unanimous among present members.
The Cusseta‑Chattahoochee County Commission on Feb. 4 approved a set of administrative items including opening a 2025 SPLOST bank account, substituting Friendship Road for Riverbend Road on the LMIG list, reappointing three Planning & Zoning members, and creating a Public Safety Director position.
Motions and votes: Commissioner Jason Frost moved to open the SPLOST bank account; Commissioner Timothy Biddle seconded and the vote was recorded as unanimous among present commissioners (Commissioner Hoyte was absent). Frost also moved the LMIG substitution (seconded by Biddle) and the commission approved it. Resolutions reappointing Randy Register, Teresa Smith and Willie Brown to Planning & Zoning were approved by recorded motion, and the commission voted to create a Public Safety Director position after a motion by Commissioner Gerald Douglas, seconded by Commissioner Biddle.
Operational updates: At a Feb. 24 work session County Manager Thomas Weaver briefed the commission on operations, telling the board the roundabout project is underway and advising motorists to avoid the intersection while work proceeds. He also reported an inspection at the county stray facility raised concerns that staff have 30 days to address and noted LMIG paperwork has been submitted to an engineer for bid preparation.
Context and next steps: The administrative motions clear the way for county staff to open the SPLOST account and for public‑works staff to proceed with LMIG bidding. The new Public Safety Director position will require a job description and budget information before hiring. Commissioners and staff flagged several items for follow up, including health‑department clearances and signed plats in cases where the county subsequently approved conditional‑use permits.
The meeting minutes note the board entered an executive session on legal matters and reconvened without votes occurring in closed session.
