Committee defers resolution to set process for selecting DeKalb voting delegates to county associations

Committee members reviewed item 251695, a resolution to establish a DeKalb County process for selecting voting delegates to county associations. Law department staff said they have drafted language and are checking for conflicts with ACCG and NACO bylaws and have provided the draft to Commissioner Long Spears for review.

There was discussion about DeKalb's unique governing structure — which includes both the CEO and elected commissioners — and whether generic association language would fit DeKalb. Law department staff said a deferral would allow them to refine the draft and ensure compatibility. Commissioners agreed to defer the item to the January 27 Board meeting with a prior stop in operations.

Ending: Law department will continue to coordinate with Commissioner Long Spears to align the draft with association bylaws and return the item to committee for further consideration before Board consideration.
