Coosa County commissioners record failed vote on administrator's resignation
Summary
Minutes show a motion to accept Administrator Amy Gilliland's resignation was made on Oct. 14 but was not seconded, so the motion failed; the commission continued its Oct. 14 business at a recessed Oct. 17 meeting.
On Oct. 17, 2025, the Coosa County Commission continued a recessed meeting from Oct. 14 and recorded that a prior motion to approve County Administrator Amy Gilliland's resignation had failed because it was not seconded.
The official minutes state: "IT WAS MOTINED AND NOT SECONDED ON OCTOBER 14,2025, so THE MOTION FAILED." Commissioner John Forbus is recorded as having made the motion on Oct. 14. The Oct. 17 minutes list the resignation under "Old Business" and note the unsuccessful motion outcome. The minutes do not record a subsequent renewed motion or a final action approving the resignation.
The entry appears amid routine agenda items and staff reports; the minutes do not provide further detail about the reasons behind the resignation or any follow-up personnel actions. The record shows four commissioners present for the Oct. 17 session (Chair Lamar Daugherty, Vice-Chair Brandon Davis, Commissioner John Forbus, Commissioner Bertha K. McElrath) and notes Commissioner Ronnie Joiner was not present.
