Franklin County Commissioners Plan Another Meeting Tonight

Franklin County Commissioners will have another called meeting tonight where they will go into executive session to continue their discussions on choosing the next County Manager.

 

At Tuesday’s called meeting, Commissioners spent almost two hours in executive session but made no announcements afterwards.

 

Last week, Macomson announced the Board had narrowed the list of candidates to about 15, and of those had chosen applicants to interview.

 

According to Macomson, they received about 30 applications for the position.

 

He said the Board is looking for someone with strong experience in personnel management and financial administration.

 

Among other things, the County Manager works with the Board of Commissioners in the day-to-day operations of all aspects of the county government, including personnel, finance, and planning.

 

Also required according to the job description is a knowledge of local government financial administration and fund accounting; knowledge of federal, state, and local laws, statutes, and regulations.

 

Once the finalist is announced, the Board must wait 14 days from that announcement, according to Georgia law, before formally voting to hire that person.
