Provision allows commissioners to review zonings

By JON WILCOX jon@appenmedia.com

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A littleknown sunset provision is giving the Forsyth County Commission greater control over properties whose owners seek prospective rezonings to enhance their value and attract developers.

Commissioners reviewed six properties April 8 after 18 months of inactiv-

ity. A 2018 amendment to the Unified Development Code allows commissioners to review properties if no land use permit is obtained within 18 months of a zoning change.

A land use permit allows an owner to use a property for a specific purpose and is required before any construction can begin.

Property owners will sometimes seek a rezoning to increase their property’s

value with prospective buyers who would purchase the parcel for a business, home subdivision or another purpose, Commissioner Laura Semanson said. Sometimes a sale can be contingent on rezoning.

Other times, a land owner might seek to retain ownership and use the rezoning to attract a developer.

Civil Service Board ensures fair practices for county employees

By ADAM DARBY newsroom@appenmedia.com

CUMMING, Ga. — The Forsyth County Civil Service Board met April 10 at the county’s Juvenile Court Building. Despite initially having multiple items placed on the agenda, the monthly meeting was adjourned after five minutes with no new business or administrative updates discussed.

Since its inception, the Civil Service Board has worked to ensure that employment-related decisions for covered Forsyth County employees are reviewed through a fair, impartial and consistent process. Its duties include hearing appeals related to disciplinary actions and terminations to ensure accountability is held across the organization. By providing just cause for employment actions and decision-making, the board protects county employees from major political or administrative changes.

The Forsyth County Civil Service Board meets to discuss various employment protocols, appeal hearings and to ensure fair treatment for all county workers.

Deputies charge man with drug possession

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Deputies arrested a 42-year-old Cumming man on drug and other charges after responding to a report of an intoxicated male outside an apartment March 4.

Deputies were dispatched to Preston Pointe Way after the caller said a man was stumbling around the parking lot, according to a Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office report.

The Cumming man, who smelled strongly of alcohol, told deputies he was there to see his girlfriend.

Deputies could find no identity documents on the man. When the man offered more detailed information, deputies determined he had pending arrest warrants.

When deputies attempted to arrest him, the man allegedly resisted and was forced to the ground with leg sweeps, according to the report. On the ground, he refused to place his hands behind his back.

A search of his pockets revealed bags of marijuana and ecstasy. A handbag that he said was his contained credit cards in other people’s names.

The man was arrested on charges of possession of a Schedule I substance, possession of marijuana less than 1 ounce, obstruction of law enforcement, giving a false name or date of birth and public drunkenness.

Motorcycle driver cited on drug, DUI charges

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Deputies allegedly discovered methamphetamine in a man’s pocket after arresting him on a driving under the influence charge

March 6.

Deputies stopped the 61-year-old Alpharetta man while he was driving a motorcycle on Atlanta Highway near Hamby Road, according to a Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office report.

The man said he was having trouble getting his motorcycle to operate properly. Deputies observed fresh damage on the bike and scrapes on the man’s helmet.

The man was unsteady on his feet, and his speech was slurred, according to the report.

Deputies determined the man was unsafe to drive and placed him under arrest.

While searching him, they found a bag containing methamphetamine in his pocket.

The man was charged with felony possession of methamphetamine and misdemeanor driving under the influence.

Car found damaged in Abbotts Bridge lot

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Johns Creek officers responded to the report of a damaged car in a parking lot adjacent to Kani House restaurant on Abbotts Bridge Road on April 3.

Officers found the vehicle surrounded by broken glass, with three windows and both windshields broken and the driverside rear door scratched and dented. A large rock was found in the rear of the vehicle.

Police contacted the registered owner but found out that he had lent the car to his granddaughter. All attempts to contact her were unsuccessful.

The manager of Kani House confirmed that the granddaughter is an employee at the restaurant but had not showed up to work the past few weeks.

Officers determined that the vehicle was last seen in operation at 10 p.m. on the same day through flock camera alerts.

The registered owner stated he only wanted to retrieve the vehicle.

All photographic evidence of the scene

and damage to the vehicle was uploaded to evidence.com.

Officers investigate violent motor vehicle incident

ROSWELL, Ga. — Roswell Police responded to reports of shots fired around Terramont Court around 4:30 p.m. April 2 finding two crashed and abandoned vehicles.

An officer said he immediately spotted a gray Ford F-150 stuck on a tree stump and dark-colored Honda Accord in the side yard of a home across the street.

The damage to the yard is valued at $500.

Officers said a nearby homeowner said he saw the truck crash into his neighbor’s yard. The homeowner said he watched one man shoot at another man who was near the F-150.

Another witness, a 45-year-old Roswell man who is employed by the Atlanta Police Department, said he heard a loud crash, heard men arguing outside and saw a male wearing a red T-shirt and black pants flee the area on foot. It is not clear whether the witness is a sworn officer.

Officers said all witness statements were turned over to a detective with the Criminal Investigations Division.

Despite multiple officers canvassing the area, no suspects were located or identified.

An officer obtained footage of the incident from a nearby residence and turned it over to detectives. They said it shows the Accord deliberately strike an occupant of the F-150 before all subjects flee the area.

Officers said some suspects left on foot and others left via a third vehicle, described as a possible red Hyundai.

According to the report, the Ford F-150 is registered to a 28-year-old Duluth woman and the Honda Accord belongs to a 58-year-old Decatur woman. Authorities impounded both vehicles.

The investigation is ongoing.

Last-minute bill limiting Open Records Act fails

By JILL NOLAN Georgia Recorder

ATLANTA — A proposed last-minute attempt to limit the public’s access to police reports and communications with state lawmakers was abandoned April 4 as quickly as it emerged.

The proposed changes to the state’s open records law had popped up unexpectedly Wednesday April 2 in the gatekeeping House Rules Committee, bypassing the usual legislative committee process.

Rep. Rob Leverett, an Elberton Republican, said he had seen the proposed changes as just “extensions of existing law and were not really reflecting any new policy.”

But the proposal, Senate Bill 12, was

immediately met with opposition from First Amendment advocates who warned the changes would weaken transparency laws.

Under the proposal, police departments would be able to shield almost all information about officers’ stops, arrests and incident responses. And it would have created broad new exemptions to prevent public disclosure of the General Assembly’s activities, including communication with other parts of state government.

The change narrowing what police records are available for public inspection appeared to be in response to a lawsuit filed by the Appen Media Group against Sandy Springs that accused the city of withholding public police reports. The state Court of Appeals

had recently ruled in Appen’s favor.

Gov. Brian Kemp also seemed cool to the proposal Friday.

“I haven’t seen what the Legislature has done other than just reading a blip in the paper about it,” Kemp told reporters. “But we’ll look at the legislation today. We’ll see what ends up passing or not passing. But I think the General Assembly knows that I’m a pretty transparent person, as you can see being out here answering your questions today.”

The House ultimately retreated from the changes Friday and passed a version that was more in line with the original proposal – to the relief of the bill’s sponsor, Danielsville Republican Sen. Frank Ginn.

“You don’t want to get into an argument with people that buy ink by the train car load,” Ginn said, referring to concerns from

newspapers and others.

Ginn said he was trying to pass a “pro-business bill.” His proposal came in response to a Georgia Supreme Court ruling last year that unanimously found that a private contractor working for a public entity is still subject to the law and can be sent requests for public records they may possess.

Senate Bill 12 said that requests for those public records should go through the local governmental agencies that contracted with those third parties. This version is what now sits on the governor’s desk.

State of Forsyth County address highlights projects, expenditures

By JON WILCOX jon@appenmedia.com

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Managing millions in taxpayer money is no small task for the Forsyth County Commission, Chairman Alfred John said during his April 8 State of the County address.

“We have to make hard decisions on what can and cannot be funded each year, which investments give our community the best return and which areas need to be trimmed,” John said.

John delivered the address to about 300 residents, business leaders and others at the Forsyth Conference Center, 3410 Ronald Reagan Blvd. in Cumming.

Punctuated by video presentations, his speech covered the county’s recent accomplishments and long-term goals.

John focused much of his time on taxpayer dollars and the decisions made by himself and commissioners to ensure a better future for the county.

In 2024, the Board of Commissioners worked with a $196-million general fund to provide for public safety, parks and recreation, judicial services, housing and development, public health and other uses. For 2025, commissioners adopted a budget of a little more than $215 million.

“Our community has come to expect

the best, and whether it is for parks, libraries, senior services, roads, public safety, whatever it may be, it is not cheap,” he said.

With about 36 percent of the county’s spent funds, public safety is the largest expense. More than 90 percent of those funds goes toward the sheriff’s office.

“Many of you have heard me openly advocate for public safety and strong public safety” John said. “The bad actors stay out

of our county because they know that the sheriff's office is tough.”

Forsyth County’s crime statistics are some of the lowest in the area. In 2024, zero murders were reported compared to 29 in Gwinnett County and 165 in Fulton County.

The sheriff’s office employs 507 staff, including 55 school resource officers, and boasts response times for priority calls between six and seven minutes.

“Kudos to our deputies, our firefighters, 911 operators and ambulance personnel, who day in and day out, work exceptionally well in the service of our county,” John said.

At about $15 million, parks and recreation accounted for about 7 percent of the budget. The county operates and maintains 29 parks and 13 miles of greenway.

In 2024, the county acquired the Bald Ridge Creek and Sawnee campgrounds. Each offers lake access, tent and RV sites, beach and swim areas and playgrounds.

Sawnee Mountain Preserve underwent renovations, adding 50 parking spots, improved exhibits in its visitors center, a maintenance storage building and more.

For its therapeutic recreational program, the Parks & Recreation department raised $1,100 for a scholarship to provide financial assistance to participants. The program has seen exponential growth.

Parkway. The County Administration Campus will house 17 separate departments in a single location, significantly improving residents’ customer experiences, according to the county.

Construction is expected to be completed in early 2026.

“When the building opens, please come and see what a smart office building for county staff will look like,” John said.

One piece of friction with the campus is that state law mandates county business is done within the confines of the county seat.

Forsyth County’s new government campus is outside the City of Cumming. After commissioners failed to get the state legislature to approve an exception, the current plan is for the board to hold two votes; one at the new campus, and then another formal one back at the existing facilities.

Near the end of the address, John played video recordings made by the four other commissioners.

District 4 Commissioner Mendy Moore said she was focused on funding improvements for roadways in conjunction with the Georgia Department of Transportation.

“People spend way too much time trying to get from point A to point B,” she said.

To promote community development, commissioners adopted a code change to incentivize development of subdivisions with lots larger than 2 acres. The change relaxes standards, sewer connection requirements and tap fees.

In 2025, the Commission is looking forward to new developments, which include giant mixed-use centers and a new government campus.

“The buzz for the last few months has been about the Gathering at South Forsyth,” John said. “If you haven't heard about it, come out into the open.”

The multibillion project proposes shopping, dining and residential spaces centered around a 20,000-seat arena that could be home to an NHL franchise.

If successful, the site could be highly attractive to companies, “which are looking for live, work, play areas for their employees,” John said.

John also highlighted the arrival of the Trader Joe’s grocery in the county, adding that a Whole Foods and Frankie's Fun Park are on the way.

Forsyth County’s highly educated workforce has made it a sought after destination for numerous companies, he said.

“They joined many of the world's most successful and promising organizations that already called Forsyth County home,” he said.

Because of its rapidly growing population, the county’s government will soon relocate to a 42-acre facility on Freedom

District 3 Commissioner Todd Levent said the Commission may explore options with a Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax to fund those improvements quickly.

“Nobody wants more taxes. I get it,” he said. “I don't want them either. If you want to jump start these roads, it’s that thing you have to talk about.”

District 1 Commissioner Kerry Hill said the Commission will continue to oversee county business to ensure tax dollars are spent appropriately.

“You have to really look at things and make sure that we're spending our money in the correct way,” she said.

District 5 Commissioner Laura Semanson said the need for smart growth has become more necessary than ever as the county’s growth continues to increase.

“We have really put an eye over the last several years towards trying to get a better balance of the type of growth that we're getting,” she said. “We've moved towards larger lots and a little less density and intensity.”

Forsyth County has a lot to be proud of, and although commissioners are dedicated to creating the best future for the community, local government relies on the participation of residents, John said.

Like a musical ensemble, everyone in the county, from residents to staff to elected officials, has a part to play, he said.

“We ask all of you to take great pride in your community, get involved in local policy decisions and help guide the future of Forsyth County through your direct involvement,” John said.

Public Service Commission statewide primary election draws 8 vying for two seats

By ZOE SEILER zoe@appenmedia.com

ATLANTA — Several candidates have qualified for the statewide Public Service Commission primary to be held June 17.

Two seats on the Public Service Commission will be on the ballot alongside municipal races this f all. Races are being held for the Districts 2 and 3 seats. Currently, all members of the PSC are Republican.

The candidates must live in their districts, but the elections are statewide, so voters across Georgia can vote in both races. The districts include much of east and southeast Georgia that includes Athens, Augusta and Savannah for District 2; and the Metro Atlanta counties of Fulton, DeKalb and Clayton for District 3, reported Appen Media media partner WABE.

The Public Service Commission is charged with setting “fair and reasonable rates for services under its jurisdiction.” Utilities, like Georgia Power, are typically regulated by the PSC. The commission’s main job is to govern Georgia Power’s rates and plans.

PSC elections were last held in 2020 and have been on hold since 2022 due to a federal lawsuit alleging the election process for commissioners violates the Voting Rights Act, according to WABE.

Commissioner Tim Echols, who represents most of east Georgia, and Commissioner Fitz Johnson, who represents metro Atlanta, are up for reelection.

According to the Georgia Secretary of State website, here are the qualified candidates:

District 2

• Alicia Johnson (D)

• Tim Echols (R, incumbent)

• Lee Muns (R)

The winner of the Republican primary will face Johnson in November.

District 3

• Keisha Waites (D)

• Peter Hubbard (D)

• Robert Jones (D)

• Daniel Blackman (D)

• Terrell Fitz Johnson (R, incumbent)

The winner of the Democratic primary will face Fitz Johnson in November.

Forsyth automotive class gears students for industry

By JON WILCOX jon@appenmedia.com

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A Forsyth County Schools automotive program is creating career opportunities for students.

And, if the awards students have garnered in competitions is any indicator, these kids are good.

“We have students who come to us just to try it, and never done anything with cars their entire life, and they end up with this as their career,” said Andrew Graham, one of the instructors.

Graham and his wife, Leah, split the 140 students in six classes, teaching everything from basic oil changes to engine overhauls and digital diagnostics at Forsyth Central High School. The classes prepare students for a variety of careers in the automotive world with hands-on and classroom lessons.

The classes are part of the district’s Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education program, which connects students to dozens of career pathways from artificial intelligence to cosmetology to culinary arts.

Students who complete all six levels of the district’s automotive program are prepared to enter the automotive industry after graduation. Students with internships can earn $40,000. Technicians can see salaries in the $100,000 range.

Many students work jobs in the field outside school after turning 16.

Numerous other students go on to complete two- and four-year degrees to pursue a wide variety of industry careers in marketing, engineering, design, robotics and other fields.

“It's a great career to have, and it's a great opportunity for students,” Andrew said.

Classes are split between traditional classroom lectures and labs where stu-

dents literally get their hands dirty working on vehicles.

Classroom lessons cover every aspect of vehicles from the difference between a sedan and coupe to electrical systems. The workshops where labs occur resemble realworld automotive shops to give students a familiarity with future careers.

“It's built like a repair facility where you have vehicle lifts, engine stands, engines, components, transmissions and work benches,” Andrew said. “There's safety chains and safety areas marked off for visitors that you're not supposed to cross.”

Activities like a multipoint inspection prepare students for typical tasks they may be given in real shops, short of driving vehicles into bays because many lack drivers licenses, Leah said.

Students begin by recording the vehicle identification number to determine its engine size and other specifications.

Then, they conduct a comprehensive examination of the outside, checking wipers, lights and other components. They

open the hood to check fluids, the air filter and other parts, looking for wear and tear.

After lifting the vehicle, the oil and filter are changed, and the tires are rotated.

Students will assess each part of the car to give the “customer” an idea about what works and what might need to be replaced or fixed, Leah said.

The entire process is taught with an emphasis on real-world applications, and students are made aware of potential liabilities and risks if a job is not done right, she said.

“We need to make sure we're honest with the customer, so they know exactly what's going on,” Leah said. “I compare it to going to the doctor.”

The education extends beyond the automotive world, encompassing fundamental life lessons, Andrew said. Students learn how to show up for work on time, tie a tie, write a cover letter and resume, handle an interview and shake hands.

The classes also build students’ characters, Leah said.

Automotive work is inherently challenging, and obstacles present opportunities to teach problem-solving, collaboration and character, she said.

“Sometimes, they couldn't get that thing apart, or they couldn't diagnose it or couldn't understand it,” Leah said. “It's trying to get from that to ‘How do we figure that out?’”

Leah and Andrew’s students have proved they are taking their classes to heart with repeated wins in competitions.

For the past three years, the students have placed first in the Hot Rodders of Tomorrow’s national engine competitions, disassembling and reassembling engines as quickly as they can.

They have also won at least 10 SkillsUSA competitions in the past decade and competed in Georgia TSA electric vehicle competitions.

Sneezing our way through all this pollen

Lots of records being set these days. At this writing, the Braves can’t buy a win.

The stock market is acting squirrely.

There are recordsetting tariffs being imposed, leading to unrest despite promises that things will eventually get better.

No, the record that comes to mind involves that yellow, eye-watering yellow menace known as pollen. Fox 5’s David Chandley (my favorite weather guy) keeps giving viewers the number each night, imparting that the day’s pollen count.

It is amazing me that there is a poor soul who is really taking one for the team. I can visualize the poor sap surrounded by that irritating yellow powder, faced with the unenviable task of tallying every granule.

“Yep, there’s about 4,000 times more than yesterday. By golly, we set another record!”

I visited the Bagel Hole recently where the owner was waving a white

flag, surrendering to the reality that cleaning off his patio table was a futile endeavor.

“I just cleaned them off two hours ago,” he said, showing that his white flag of capitulation was stained yellow.

It’s so relatable, having a deck that looks like it’s made out of true “Yella Wood,” and not the stuff that’s advertised on TV that provides a good meal for pesky beavers.

I’m all for a wintertime treat, going outside and glimpsing a cushy blanket of soft snow on the deck. After all, there’s no question that, since we don’t live in Minnesota, eventually the white stuff will dissipate.

But this year, maybe it’s because the Braves opened the 2025 season with seven consecutive losses, the pollen just seems more menacing.

That’s right: A snowfall is a thing of beauty while a pollen storm spurs thoughts of “How the heck can I get rid of this stuff and get it out of my clothes.?”

If I’ve heard it once this year, I’ve heard a veritable litany of folks saying: “I’m usually not bothered by pollen, but this year…”

That proclamation is inevitably

punctuated by a nose-blowing fit and two or three uproarious, earth-shattering sneezes.

It must be a boon for any car wash owner. Trying to keep a car free from the stuff is an impossible dream. My first car was a 1971 yellow Volkswagen Super Beetle. It would have fit right in here. Too bad I never saw a morsel of pollen in Bakersfield. But don’t get me started about the dusty, polluted air.

It’s also a great time for anyone selling air filters. The other day, while getting my Acura serviced, the tech wheezed and sniffled as he showed me filters that needed to be replaced.

I guess all this yellow dust is good for the plants. I know the bees sure like it, based on the squadron that have descended on the yard. I’m good with the bees. Just no more massive yellowjacket colonies this summer.

Riding my Harley, there’s definitely enough pollen in the air to make me use a bandana to act as a filter to assist my not having to ingest any of the stuff. The other day, sure enough, there was a smattering of the yellow dust on my Lynyrd Skynyrd bandana, forcing an unheard of trip to the laundry basket. I sure hope it doesn’t

shrink.

We’ll get through all this and have a nice sultry summer.

Now, fixing the Braves? Not so sure that’s a quick task that is both doable and realistic.

Event planner leaves corporate life to pursue her passions

By HAYDEN SUMLIN hayden@appenmedia.com

SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — Space in Time is an event venue, really two of them, smack dab in the center of Sandy Springs off Hilderbrand Drive that’s available to rent for special events.

Ebony Hamlet is the owner of the event venue, located at 290 Hilderbrand Drive just southeast of the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center and Veterans Park.

“I was always the person in my family who was hosting the baby showers and birthday parties … and just family gatherings, I was always the go-to person,” Hamlet said. “My last family reunion that I hosted here in Atlanta, my elders pulled me to the side at brunch and said ‘you should really consider doing this professionally.’”

She said at first it wasn’t clear if she could turn her passion for coordinating and creating seamless events for her loved ones into a career.

In February, Visit Sandy Springs published an article “BlackOwned Business and Restaurants in Sandy Springs,” featuring a snapshot of some of the city’s entrepreneurs. Her advice to others considering a jump to entrepreneurship is to not let that thing go once it’s been found.

Hamlet worked at Priority Technology Holdings for nearly a decade before she was let go in summer 2020. Hamlet said a phone call from her sister helped with a shift in her mind set and an eventual pursuit of her dreams.

“I called her, along with some other people, and the first thing they would say is ‘oh my gosh, what are

Ebony Hamlet, president and founder of A Space in Time in Sandy Springs, is loving her life as an entrepreneur after leaving behind corporate America to pursue one of her passions — running her own event venue.

spaces and how to open one,” Hamlet said.

“Their restaurants and coffee shops are very quaint, but they make the most out of the space; I always knew I didn’t want a huge space, but I wanted an intimate one for the venue.”

With its location in the heart of Sandy Springs, Hamlet said she thinks the business’s Atlanta address, common throughout the nearly 20-year-old city, helps attract some interested customers looking to celebrate something while staying in the state capital.

Plus, she said there’s ample free parking, which is hard to find in central Atlanta.

“I actually signed my lease in November 2020, but I needed renovations to be done, so the lease wouldn’t start until February,” Hamlet said. “I have heard about the golden years of owning an event space and how lucrative it is was, and I can honestly say I don’t think I’ve experienced that.”

Through the last four years, she said there have been highs and lows. Right now, Hamlet said she has one open weekend open coming up, which is a rarity. May is typically one of the busiest months for event planners and venues like Hamlet and Space in Time.

you going to do? …I’m so sorry this happened to you,’” she said. “Well, my sister dropped a gem on me; the first thing she said was ‘congratulations, what are you going to do now?’”

Hamlet said a lot of her life was tied to her job in corporate America, but her

sister’s words encouraged her to take the first steps.

She spent most of the second half of 2020 traveling and studying venues across Europe and Brazil, including art galleries, coffee shops and banquet halls.

“I sort of became a student of event

“You have a bunch of graduations … weddings, baby showers happening,” she said. “That’s usually a jam-packed month, and I’m not seeing that right now.”

The first space, Suite I, is more than 1,880 square feet and holds up to 125 seated guests for special gatherings like birthday celebrations, retirement

parties, holiday mixers, baby showers, graduation parties and bridal showers.

Located in the same plaza with an adjoining courtyard, Suite II is slightly larger at 2,246 square feet and capable of holding up 150 guests.

Hamlet said the larger facility can host things like weddings, book signings, receptions and art shows with the space next door available, which can save the cost of turning over the same room for another event.

While Hamlet said she thinks people may be holding onto their cash now, Space in Time has a lot going for it.

“I think what makes Space in Time unique is I have two venues in one plaza,” she said. “If you’ve ever attended a wedding, a lot of times in those venues they have to flip the room … changing it from the wedding ceremony to the reception …. We eliminate that.”

Hamlet also said she likes the intimacy of both spaces but has created distinct aesthetics for each that “quaint and whimsical.”

Baby showers are the number one event type, followed by weddings.

Clients come from all over, but one of the notable events at Space in Time was when Fulton County District Fani Willis hosted a two-day conference with local law enforcement and prosecutors to lay out a game plan to combat crimes across the region.

While speaking with Appen Media April 10, Hamlet said she had three tours that afternoon. She said they’re most likely looking to grab that open weekend in May.

The consequences of not having a Property Estate Planning done by an attorney

Brought to you by - Estates Law Center USA

Take the example of a well-known celebrity, let’s call him “Chris.” Chris was a beloved actor with a career spanning decades. Despite his success and substantial fortune, he never took the time to create a comprehensive estate plan. When Chris unexpectedly passed away, his family was left to navigate the complex and often confusing legal process of distributing his assets.

1. Legal Battles and Family Disputes: Without a clear and comprehensive estate plan, Chris’s family found themselves embroiled in legal battles. Different relatives claimed entitlement to various parts of his estate, leading to prolonged court cases and strained family relationships. A welldrafted estate plan could have provided clear instructions and prevented much of the discord.

2. Financial Burden: Chris’s estate was subject to significant taxes and fees that could have been minimized with proper planning. Estate planning tools such as trusts can help reduce the tax burden and ensure more wealth is passed on to heirs

rather than lost to taxes and legal costs.

3. Delayed Distribution of Assets: The absence of a comprehensive estate plan meant that the distribution of Chris’s assets was delayed significantly. Probate, the legal process of distributing a deceased person’s estate, can be time-consuming and complicated. An estate plan can streamline this process, ensuring that beneficiaries receive their inheritance more quickly.

4. Business and Real Estate: Without a proper trust, Chris's real estate and business had to be liquidated to pay off the creditors at a substantially reduced price due to the probate process and disputes between the beneficiaries as to keeping or selling the business and real estate.

5. Unfulfilled Wishes: Without a comprehensive estate plan, there’s no guarantee that Chris’s assets were distributed according to his wishes. An estate plan allows individuals to specify exactly how they want their assets allocated, ensuring their intentions and wishes are honored after their death.

“This ensures that Forsyth County can continue to operate smoothly and deliver critical services regardless of who’s in office or how leadership may shift over time,” said Civil Service Board Clerk DeAndra Jordan. “It’s one more way the county works to ensure transparency, fairness and continuity in service to the people we proudly serve.”

Despite the short meeting this month, the board has spent many previous meetings responsible for appointing new board members and filling certain county career opportunities. This also includes an assortment of attorney and administrative updates.

“While I’m still early in my tenure, I’ve already developed a strong appreciation for the professionalism and integrity that guide every action the board takes,” Jordan said. “I’m grateful that I’ve had the benefit of learning from those who served in this role before me…It’s truly an honor to step into a position with such significance and to help ensure that our personnel practices remain fair, structured, and transparent.”

The Civil Service Board provides a

Since the implementation of the sunset provision, the Commission has seen a drop in speculative rezonings, Semanson said.

Semanson said she supported the 2018 law change to give commissioners the ability to ensure land is developed in a way that fits with neighbors’ needs. If a rezoning is allowed to languish for too long, the originally designated purpose may no longer suit a surrounding community years later.

“As other people come in and invest their blood,sweat and tears into property, as people move into the community, as other businesses start, it can be a situation where it no longer fits,” she said.

For example, a property zoned for a loud, bright business may longer be desirable in an area that has become quieter and more residential.

neutral, structured body in place to review employment decisions and ensure policy compliance. This creates fair opportunities for local residents with county-related career opportunities.

“The Civil Service Board provides an important check and balance within the county’s personnel system,” Jordan said. “As clerk, my focus is on ensuring smooth and accurate operations behind the scenes — everything from documentation to communication…We also aim to keep improving how we support the board's work administratively and procedurally.”

The Civil Service Board’s upcoming business includes scheduled appeal hearings, continued review of internal procedures, and ongoing coordination with departments to ensure transparency and compliance. For more information, visit www.ForsythCo.com or call 770-844-5701.

“While most employees may only interact with the board under specific circumstances, the fact that it exists and is trusted to carry out its responsibilities fairly — is reassuring to many across the organization,” Jordan said. “It’s truly an honor to step into a position with such significance and to help ensure that our personnel practices remain fair, structured, and transparent.”

prised by a development that sprouts up years after a rezoning, she said. If a conditional use permit is granted, a developer can proceed without any restrictions from commissioners even if the character of an area has since changed and the original stipulations are no longer ideal.

Despite the enhanced level of control, commissioners want to work with property owners to ensure an ideal outcome for everyone involved, Semanson said.

“There has to be a cooperation between the community and the county and the people who are proposing this is,” she said. Of the six properties reviewed April 8, most were delayed to give time for commissioners to speak with the owners to get a feel for their plans. The properties’ proposed uses include a day care center, offices, automotive service business, storage facility and pet resort.

Commissioners delayed decisions for four of the properties and planned to meet with one owner to discuss their plans.
