BALDWIN, Ga. — The Baldwin City Council has postponed a special called meeting that was scheduled for Friday evening.
City Clerk Erin Gathercoal announced that the meeting, originally set for Friday, March 6, at 5 p.m., has been rescheduled for Monday, March 9, at 5 p.m.
The meeting will take place in the Baldwin Municipal Courtroom, located at 155 Willingham Avenue.
The session is scheduled as an executive session to discuss personnel matters.
“We apologize for any inconvenience,” Gathercoal said in an email notifying officials and media of the change.
City officials did not provide a reason for the rescheduling. An updated public notice and agenda were issued following the change.
The meeting comes amid a series of recent developments involving city employees.
As first reported by Now Georgia, the city’s accountant became the subject of an investigation tied to allegations involving a purported $1.7 million property “prank.” City officials have declined to publicly discuss the specifics of that inquiry.
Separately, the Baldwin Police Department has also been under scrutiny after sources reported that a majority of the department’s officers recently resigned. City leaders confirmed that an investigation involving the police department is underway but have not released details about the circumstances surrounding the departures.
It is not known whether Monday’s executive session is connected to either matter.
Because the meeting is scheduled as an executive session, the council will discuss the personnel issue privately. Any official action, if taken, must occur after returning to open session.
