Commission creates Public Safety Director position; vote unanimous
Summary
The county commission voted unanimously to create a Public Safety Director position, approving the motion at its Feb. 4 meeting; next steps include job description and hiring process through county staff.
The Commission voted unanimously on Feb. 4 to create a new Public Safety Director position. Commissioner Gerald Douglas made the motion, which was seconded by Vice‑Chairman Timothy Biddle and recorded by county staff as approved without dissent.
County Manager Thomas Weaver and commissioners said the next steps will include drafting a job description, determining an appropriate salary range, and beginning the hiring process in accordance with county personnel rules. The motion establishes the position but does not record an immediate appointment; any hiring will follow standard personnel procedures and budgetary review.
The creation of the role was presented as part of routine business on the Feb. 4 agenda and approved alongside other administrative items such as SPLOST account setup and Planning & Zoning reappointments.
