The Roswell City Council made a significant move during its regular meeting on July 28, 2025, by appointing Joe Cusack to the Public Facilities Authority. This decision was met with support from council members, highlighting the strategic choice of selecting an attorney for the role.
Councilor Beeson emphasized the importance of having an attorney on the authority, noting that Cusack, who serves as the assistant city attorney and is also a resident of Roswell, fulfills this need effectively. "This appointment meets a lot of needs internally," Beeson stated, reinforcing the rationale behind the decision.
The council's discussion underscored the internal nature of the authority, which is primarily composed of city officials. The appointment was framed as a continuation of Cusack's contributions to the city, as he had been appointed to another position recently.
Following the discussion, Council Member Christine Hall made the motion to approve Cusack's appointment, signaling a unified front among council members in support of this strategic decision. The council's choice reflects a commitment to ensuring that the Public Facilities Authority is equipped with the necessary legal expertise to navigate its responsibilities effectively.
