Harold

Bost will serve as chairman of the Fayette County

Commission again this year.

Commissioners

last week voted unanimously to reappoint Bost as

chairman and Greg Dunn as vice chairman. The

commission chooses its own leadership each

January for the coming year.

The

group also appointed members to the same

committee posts that they held last year:

Commissioner Linda Wells to the Board of Health;

Commissioner Glen Gosa on the Water Committee;

Bost on the Insurance Committee; Bost and Dunn on

the Long Range Planning Committee; Commissioner

Herb Frady on the Association County

Commissioners of Georgia.

Commission

meeting schedules for 2000 also are the same as

in 1999:

Workshops first

Mondays at 3:30 p.m. These meetings are intended

for routine matters, and public comment isn't

taken unless invited by a department head or

commissioner. Official action can be taken, but

public hearings are never conducted during

workshops.

Business meetings

second and fourth Thursdays at 7 p.m. Public

comment is taken during these meetings, and

public hearings often are conducted. Also,

residents can schedule time to appear before the

group to discuss matters of concern.

Meetings

may be cancelled, and special called meetings

often are conducted. These will be announced in

accordance with state law.

In

other reorganization business for the year 2000,

the commission authorized the chairman, vice

chairman and county manager to sign checks

exceeding $5,000 (two signatures are required),

and authorized the county manager to conduct

transactions of less than $5,000.
