Appling County announces hire of Reid Lovett as county manager on 18-month, $150,000 contract
Summary
County Attorney Tracy Brown reported that Reid Lovett accepted an 18-month contract paying $150,000, with a transitional start Dec. 6, 2024 and full-time employment effective Jan. 1, 2025; the decision followed an executive session on personnel.
County Attorney Tracy Brown told the Appling County Board of Commissioners that the board discussed a contract offer for Reid Lovett in executive session and that Mr. Lovett accepted the offer: "$150,000 salary for an eighteenth month contract and Mr. Lovett would begin December 6th, 2024 for a transitional period and full-time effective January 1, 2025."
The announcement followed a closed executive session called to discuss personnel. No public vote was recorded in the minutes for that specific contract action; Brown reported the terms and acceptance after the board returned to open session.
Interim County Manager Mike Deal had no comments when the board resumed regular session. Chairman Leslie Burch then thanked those in attendance and adjourned the meeting.
Next steps recorded in the minutes are the stated start dates for Mr. Lovett; the minutes do not specify additional onboarding steps, a motion on the contract made in open session, or any formal vote tally in the public minutes.
