County Commission tables vote on GOP Elections Board nominees By HAYDEN SUMLIN hayden@appenmedia.com ATLANTA — The Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted along party lines Sept. 3 to “table” a vote on the Republican Party’s nominees to the Registration and Elections Board until a state Appellate Court ruling. The decision at the end of the
board’s first September meeting came after a lengthy executive session, which commissioners held after seeking the county attorney’s guidance on how to proceed after an Aug. 29 court ruling. Commissioners voted unanimously on executive session items, including a $90,000 contract in support of compliance with the consent decree pertain-
ing to the Fulton County Jail. Executive sessions are closed to public and media. In late August, a State Superior Court judge found the Board of Commissioners in civil contempt and imposed a $10,000 per day fine, unless Republican nominees are appointed to the County Elections Board. The judge ruled county commissioners must
appoint Elections Board nominees submitted by the Republican Party’s executive officer. Fulton County Chairman Robb Pitts said the county will begin paying daily fines when the state Appellate Court takes up the case, which could be another three months.

Sandy Springs allows 1-time use of lighting at Holy Innocents’ field By HAYDEN SUMLIN hayden@appenmedia.com
HAYDEN SUMLIN/APPEN MEDIA
Sandy Springs residents, including Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School administrators, parents and students listen during a public hearing to decide whether to allow field lighting for its Oct. 3 Homecoming game. Council members voted to grant a special event permit for the first Friday Nights Lights game in school history.
SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — Football legend Champ Bailey told Appen Media he showed up at Sandy Springs City Hall to support Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School’s bid for a Homecoming game with Friday Night Lights. After the fourth council member signaled their support for lighting the high school football field for a few hours in early October, the former Georgia Bulldog and Hall of Fame cornerback
cracked a smile and a look over to Head of School Paul Barton. “[Friday Night Lights] is going to be historic,” Barton said after the approval of a one-night permit. “It’s the first time we’ve ever had it on our campus at all.” Bailey has two children attending Holy Innocents’ Episcopal, and his son is a sophomore cornerback who will play under the lights on Baker Field Oct. 3 against Hapeville Charter School.
