House Resolution 2033

By: Representative Taylor of the 92nd

A RESOLUTION

Recognizing the importance of the Rockdale County Board of Commissioners in exercising their lawful authority; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, an Act to create the Rockdale County Water and Sewerage Authority (Ga. L. 1995, p. 3994) provides that such authority shall be governed by a seven member board to be appointed by the Rockdale County Board of Commissioners; and

WHEREAS, for a number of years the Rockdale County Board of Commissioners has failed to appoint members to the Rockdale County Water and Sewerage Authority following the expiration of the terms of prior authority members; and

WHEREAS, the failure to appoint new members has left certain seats on the authority's board vacant and other seats occupied by holdover members for years beyond the expiration of their original terms; and

WHEREAS, the failure to maintain a properly constituted board has created significant legal uncertainty regarding the validity of the authority's official actions and has exposed the authority and the county to potential legal liability; and

WHEREAS, the citizens of Rockdale County, who depend upon the authority for essential water and sewerage services, deserve to be fully represented by duly appointed members of the authority's board; and

WHEREAS, it is in the public interest that local governing authorities exercise their lawful powers fully, faithfully, and in a timely manner.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that this body recognizes the importance of the Rockdale County Board of Commissioners in exercising their lawful authority, and urges the board to promptly appoint qualified members to all vacant seats on the Rockdale County Water and Sewerage Authority, including any seats presently held by holdover members whose terms have expired. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized and directed to make appropriate copies of this resolution available for distribution to the Rockdale County Board of Commissioners.
