The Hall County Civil Service Board voted to affirm the termination of a former Hall County Fire Services employee for the third time after twice failing to conduct the appeals in compliance with the Georgia Open Records Act. Board attorney Perry Sartain listened to motions from both Joseph Homans, attorney for former Battalion Chief David McGehee, and County Attorney Bill Blalock during the Friday hearing at the Hall County Government Center. “The problem that brings us back here today is that the vote at the end of that meeting in May of last year was not made in a public meeting, so we are here today at the directive of the Superior Court to revote in a public meeting,” Blalock said.
