Commissioners approve BFJRA governance changes and appoint Craig Cutchall to the authority

Representatives from the Bedford Fulton Joint Recreational Authority (BFJRA) — Matthew Wakefield, Paul Johnston and Eric Weisbrod — appeared before the Fulton County commissioners on Dec. 30, 2025 to seek approval of two amendments to the Authority's articles of incorporation and to request an appointment.

Commissioners approved Resolution 9 of 2025, which amends the BFJRA articles to increase the number of board members, and approved Resolution 10 of 2025, which authorizes the Authority to appoint police officers who would have the same powers with respect to Authority property as other Commonwealth police officers. Both resolutions were moved by Commissioner Steven L. Wible and passed unanimously.

Commissioner Wible also moved to appoint Craig Cutchall to a one-year term on the BFJRA, with the term expiring Jan. 3, 2027; that motion passed unanimously.

The resolutions authorize BFJRA to file appropriate articles of amendment and to execute the changes internally; the county recorded the formal approvals. The transcript does not include details about recruitment, training, or operational plans for the potential police officers beyond the resolution language.
