Floyd County hires Rome’s Chris Jenkins as public works director

Rome Public Works Director Chris Jenkins is making the move to Floyd County to lead its Public Works Department as longtime director Michael Skeen prepares to retire. The Floyd County Commission approved Jenkins’ employment contract during its regular meeting Tuesday. The contract was not included on the original agenda but was added after commissioners returned from an executive session during caucus. County Manager Jamie McCord said Jenkins’ experience and familiarity with local government operations made him a strong candidate to take over the department. “I don’t think there’s any way we could have found someone more qualified than Chris Jenkins to take this position,” McCord said. Jenkins previously served as Floyd County’s facilities manager from February 2009 until December 2011, when he joined the City of Rome as street department director. At the time, McCord was overseeing that department as Rome’s public works director. McCord remained in that position until April 2013, when he left to become Floyd County manager. Jenkins later became Rome’s public works director, overseeing street maintenance, drainage, solid waste operations and other municipal services. Rome City Manager Sammy Rich said Wednesday that Jenkins’ departure caught him off guard. Rich learned of the decision Tuesday, shortly before

Planning Commission backs proposed RV park on Kraftsman Road

A proposal to turn part of the former Kraftsman Club golf course into a 50-space recreational vehicle park received a favorable recommendation from the Rome-Floyd Planning Commission despite concerns about traffic, septic systems and the potential impact on nearby residents. The commission voted Thursday to recommend approval of a special use permit for the property at 284 Kraftsman Road. The Floyd County Commission, which makes the final decision, is scheduled to hold a public hearing on the permit Nov. 24 at 6 p.m. in the Community Room of the Floyd County Administration Building, 12 E. Fourth Ave. Property owner Kerry Brown is seeking permission to develop the RV park on land zoned suburban residential, which allows RV parks with a special use permit. Brown told commissioners he has owned the property for about 10 years and believes the park could provide accommodations for workers coming to Floyd County for industrial and construction projects. When commissioners asked how many of the 50 spaces he expects to fill, Brown said demand would depend on activity at nearby industrial facilities. Nearby residents questioned whether the area’s existing infrastructure could support the proposed development. Kathy Smith, whose property adjoins the site, raised concerns about
