HR 1890: Rockdale Board of Commissioners; appoint members to vacant seats on the Rockdale County Water and Sewerage Authority; urge

The Rockdale County Water and Sewerage Authority is governed by a seven member board that the Rockdale County Board of Commissioners is supposed to appoint. This resolution states that for years the county commissioners have failed to appoint new members after prior members' terms expired, leaving some seats vacant and others filled by holdover members long past their original terms. The resolution does not change any law. It formally urges the Rockdale County Board of Commissioners to use its existing authority to appoint people to the vacant seats and to replace holdover members. It also directs the Clerk of the House to send copies of the resolution to the county commission.

• Urges the Rockdale County Board of Commissioners to appoint members to vacant seats on the Rockdale County Water and Sewerage Authority board.
• Calls on the county commission to also replace any holdover members whose terms have expired.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to distribute copies of the resolution to the Rockdale County Board of Commissioners.
• Does not create any new law, penalty, or enforcement mechanism; it is a formal request rather than a binding requirement.

The Rockdale County Board of Commissioners, the Rockdale County Water and Sewerage Authority and its current holdover board members, and residents of Rockdale County who rely on the authority's water and sewer services.

Unfilled or holdover seats on the water and sewerage authority board could raise questions about who has legal authority to make decisions for the utility, potentially creating confusion or legal exposure for the county and the authority until new appointments are made.

• Notes that a 1995 local Act (Ga. L. 1995, p. 3994) created the authority with a seven member board appointed by the county commission.
• States that the county commission has for years failed to appoint new members after prior terms expired.
• Formally resolves that the House urges the county commission to appoint members to fill vacant seats and replace holdover members.
• Directs the Clerk of the House to send copies of the resolution to the Rockdale County Board of Commissioners.
