Five of the 10 members of a citizens oversight committee in Cobb County met Wednesday to continue their work of reviewing the county’s policies and spending.
Last week the panel presented a preliminary report of findings and cost-saving recommendations to County Commissioners that included consolidating departments, closing the county’s golf course and changing employee benefits.
The report was good overall, members said, but some were dismayed that Commission Chairman Tim Lee told community groups that the committee provided no appreciable savings for the county.
Next week the panel meets to outline a plan for providing commissioners with a detailed list of savings estimates and implementation dates for the recommendations. A final list should be complete by next month.
