For the third consecutive year, the Forsyth County commission will have a new chairman. Commissioners on Thursday elected Pete Amos to lead the five-member panel in 2013. Jim Boff, who served as chairman in 2012, will be vice chairman, while Brian Tam was tapped for secretary. All the officers were approved in 4-0 votes, with Todd Levent absent. The chairmanship, elected each year among the commissioners, puts one official at the helm to keep meetings in order. The chairman also typically represents the commission on various boards or at functions. Amos, who is beginning his third year on the commission, represents District 1, which includes some of Cumming and much of western Forsyth. This past summer, Boff won re-election to a second term as commissioner and Tam to his third. Tam served as chairman in 2011. Thursday marked the first official meeting for the fifth commissioner, Cindy Jones Mills, who began her term this month.
