Pavliscsak Will Not Seek Third Term as Toccoa Commissioner
By Charlie Bauder, WNEG Radio, Toccoa
In Stephens County, a second Toccoa City Commissioner says he will not run for re-election this fall.
Andy Pavliscsak made his announcement this month’s Toccoa City Commission meeting.
“There are some people who have asked me whether or not I intend to seek a third term and I am here this afternoon to say that I have no intentions of seeking a third term,” said Commissioner Andy Pavliscak at Monday’s city commission meeting.
Qualifying for the November City Commission Election does not take place until the end of August. However, Pavliscsak says he felt it was important to make his decision now.
“I certainly hope this will provide ample time and opportunity for some individual who is considering the possibility of running for this seat time to do so and get their thoughts together and maybe attend some commission meetings and get in the loop and get up to speed because we really do not need to skip a beat come the end of the year,” said Pavliscsak.
Pavliscsak has served as a Toccoa City commissioner since January 2006 and in making his announcement Monday, said he has enjoyed his time on the board.
“It has been a heck of a ride,” said Pavliscsak. “I appreciate the opportunity to have served this community. I will continue to serve until my last day. I hope to fill my term out as effectively as I possibly can.”
Pavliscsak joins fellow commissioner Ron Seib in his decision not to run again. Seib had announced his intention not to run for re-election in January. Their two seats are the only two city commission seats on the ballot in November.
Qualifying for both races takes place from August 26th to August 30th in Toccoa.
