Commissioners approve resolution authorizing district attorney to contract directly with prosecuting attorney's counsel of Georgia
Summary
The board voted to allow the district attorney to contract directly with the prosecuting attorney's counsel of Georgia rather than routing the contract through the county; staff said the change gives the DA office direct contracting ability.
The Troup County Board of Commissioners approved a resolution on June 3 authorizing the district attorney to contract directly with the prosecuting attorney's counsel of Georgia rather than through the county. Planning/administrative staff (speaker 3) described the measure as giving the DA office the ability to contract directly with the prosecutorial body rather than routing agreements through county procurement processes.
"It gives them the ability to contract directly with them instead of through the county," staff (speaker 3) said during the special business presentation. A motion to approve the resolution was made and the board carried it.
No vote tally was recorded in the transcript. The action was described as a procedural change to contracting authority; staff did not present proposed contract terms during the meeting. The resolution passed as presented and will allow the district attorney’s office to pursue that direct contract path going forward.
