State Senator Jeff Mullis has filed a resolution calling for a Fort Oglethorpe Charter Study Commission after the sudden dismissal of three top city officials a week ago.

Mullis' resolution says the committee should investigate possible "abuse of power" by the Fort Oglethorpe Mayor and Council. It proposes that a seven member panel be appointed by the Senate delegation representing the Catoosa County City. It will be disbanded at the end of the year.

The resolution  goes on to state that the forced resignation of the city manager and firings of the police chief and pubic works director have "created a great deal of turmoil and consternation among citizens of the city." A recall effort is already being organized among concerned citizens.

The Senate Resolution also directs the committee to study the city charter of Fort Oglethorpe to determine if it needs revision or  amendment to address the "current situation."
