Commissioners approve amendments to Bedford Fulton Joint Recreation Authority and appoint new member

Representatives from the Bedford Fulton Joint Recreational Authority (BFJRA) — Matthew Wakefield, Paul Johnston and Eric Weisbrod — presented two proposed amendments to the authority’s articles of incorporation during the Dec. 30, 2025 Fulton County commissioners meeting.

Commissioners approved Resolution 9 of 2025, which authorizes an amendment to increase the number of BFJRA board members. They also approved Resolution 10 of 2025, which would allow the authority to appoint police officers who would have the same rights as other police officers in the Commonwealth with respect to authority property. Commissioner Steven L. Wible moved to approve both resolutions; each motion carried unanimously.

Following those approvals, the board approved the appointment of Craig Cutchall to a one-year term on the Bedford Fulton Joint Recreational Authority, with the term expiring Jan. 3, 2027. Commissioners also approved retaining Keller Engineer, Inc. for fiscal year 2026 and noted a formal appointment of that firm will occur at the Jan. 6, 2026 reorganizational meeting.
