The Clarkesville City Council held its regular meeting on Monday evening, making several important reappointments and sets qualifying fees toward the upcoming 2025 municipal elections.
During the meeting, the council voted unanimously to reappoint key city officials for the upcoming year. Mayor Barrie Aycock recommended the reappointments of several individuals for critical positions within the city government:
- Keith Dickerson was reappointed as City Manager
- Julie Poole was reappointed as City Clerk
- The law firm Sanders, Ranck, & Skilling, P.C. was reappointed as the City’s Attorney Firm
- Robert Sneed was reappointed as the City Judge
These positions are essential for the city’s day-to-day operations and act as the city council’s advisors for city operations.
In addition to the reappointments, the council took action on the election of the Mayor Pro Tempore, a position that fills in for the Mayor when absent.
After some discussion, the council elected Councilman Franklin Brown to the position. Brown accepted the role, which will allow him to carry out mayoral duties during the Mayor’s absence, ensuring the smooth continuation of city business.
The council also addressed an important matter concerning the upcoming November 2025 municipal elections. The qualifying fees for candidates seeking to run for Mayor or City Council were set at $18. Positions that will be open for election include the Mayor, as well as Post 1, Post 4, and Post 5 council seats.
These elections will allow voters to select their representatives for the next term, and to set qualifying fees are a necessary part of the election process.
