Fulton County approves amendments to Bedford–Fulton Joint Recreation Authority and appoints Craig Cutchall

Fulton County commissioners unanimously approved two amendments to the Bedford–Fulton Joint Recreation Authority's articles of incorporation and appointed a new authority member during their Dec. 30 meeting.

Representatives Matthew Wakefield, Paul Johnston and Eric Weisbrod of the BFJRA presented the proposed changes. Commissioner Steven L. Wible moved to approve Resolution 9 of 2025 to increase the number of members on the BFJRA board; the motion passed with all commissioners in favor. Wible also moved to approve Resolution 10 of 2025 to authorize the Authority to appoint police officers who would have the same rights as other Commonwealth police officers with respect to Authority property; that motion likewise passed unanimously.

Following the resolutions, Commissioner Wible moved to appoint Craig Cutchall to a one-year term on the Bedford–Fulton Joint Recreational Authority, with the term expiring Jan. 3, 2027. The appointment was approved by the board.

The resolutions authorize BFJRA officials to execute and file articles of amendment and repeal inconsistent prior resolutions. BFJRA representatives were present for the approvals and the county's action authorizes the Authority to proceed with formal amendment filings.

The measure passed without recorded dissent.
