GA HR1753

Urges the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners to continue conducting official business within the City of Cumming, the designated county seat established by Georgia law in 1834 and 1843.

Addresses concerns that the county has constructed a new administration center outside the corporate limits of Cumming and intends to conduct official business there.

Cites the Georgia Supreme Court's 1975 ruling in Brewster v. Houston County requiring that deliberation and voting on county business occur at the county site.

Warns that conducting official business outside the county seat could render county actions legally invalid and unenforceable, creating risks to public safety and the county treasury.

Calls on the county to coordinate with the City of Cumming to annex the new administration center into the city limits to resolve the legal issue.
