City of Griffin Board of Commissioners' Called Meeting July 9, 2026

The City of Griffin Board of Commissioners held a called meeting on July 9, 2026, which was largely consumed by procedural disputes and discussions regarding the city attorney's contract. Commissioners debated motions to adjourn the meeting multiple times without reaching consensus, reflecting underlying tensions. A significant portion of the meeting focused on whether to terminate or suspend the city attorney's contract, with concerns raised about legal advice quality, charter compliance, and succession planning. Although motions to terminate the city attorney's contract were made and seconded, the transcript does not clearly indicate a final vote outcome. The board also discussed the potential need to hire a conflict attorney and the process for procuring legal services, including issuing an RFP for a new city attorney. No specific contract awards, budget allocations, or capital projects were addressed during this meeting.
