Well, just as speculated back in December of 2022 by the “grapevine,” it was announced at the February 20th, 2023, commissioners meeting that Mr. Todd Mayfield of Banks County Parks and Recreation will be sliding over to Habersham County.
I heard this is just one of the premeditated ones, or will they be from Catoosa County?
A “secret invite only” meeting was held on Monday, February 27th, 2023, at 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon for ONLY Total Fitness members. No official notification was made to any other Habersham County taxpayers, even though we will be footing the bill for this newly approved position.
Oh, wait, then another “spontaneous emergency meeting” is scheduled for Wednesday, March 1, 2023, and only made official on the county website the afternoon before the actual meeting. Strategically planned for 5:00 p.m. when, coincidentally, most “working taxpayers” are still at work or are transitioning into getting off work.
What is the huge rush on such a trivial matter when it was just tabled the week prior at the commissioners’ meeting?
Is this the “New Norm”?
If feathers are getting ruffled, let’s table a matter and, in less than 12 hours – approve it without notifying the public, except it’s a DONE DEAL!!?
Are these the people we voted on to represent our county or is it the cowardly way to get an agenda pushed through?
It may be worth pondering.
