County OKs BFJRA governance changes and appoints Craig Cutchall

Representatives from the Bedford Fulton Joint Recreation Authority (BFJRA) asked the Fulton County commissioners to approve two amendments to the authoritys articles of incorporation and to confirm a board appointment.

Commissioners unanimously approved Resolution 9 of 2025, which increases the number of BFJRA board members, and Resolution 10 of 2025, which authorizes the authority to appoint police officers who would have the same property-related rights as other Commonwealth police officers. Following those approvals, the board appointed Craig Cutchall to a one-year term on the BFJRA that expires Jan. 3, 2027.

BFJRA representatives Matthew Wakefield, Paul Johnston and Eric Weisbrod attended the meeting to present the proposed amendments. Commissioner Steven L. Wible moved to approve and execute both resolutions; each motion carried unanimously. The county did not record additional debate or conditions on the amendments in the meeting minutes.
