City employees Randee Eubanks, Joe Kisor and John Mills (and wife Jennifer) volunteered this past Saturday morning to participate in the Walk to End Alzheimer's and its fundraising efforts.
Thanks for representing the City of Bainbridge so well!
Yesterday morning, we were able to be a part of the official Ribbon Cutting of the 1st Rural King store location in the state of Georgia...right here in Bainbridge! Mayor Edward Reynolds was asked to welcome the group of store employees and locals who gathered inside the store.
Rural King, combined with the investment of a drive through location of First Port City Bank, has transformed that shopping center and has been key to changing the look and feel of that end of Shotwell Street!
At the City Council meeting held earlier this week, Mayor Edward Reynolds presented a proclamation recognizing October as Blind Achievement Equality Month. Ronnie Shephard, President of our local chapter of the National Federation of the Blind, accepted it on their behalf.

At last night's City Council meeting, Arcadio Macmillan was recognized as our Employee of the Quarter. Arcadio has been a member of our Parks Team since 2020 and was recently promoted to a supervisor position. He was nominated for his dedication to our downtown area, which he oversees the park maintenance of, and his leadership when asked to step up when a coworker went out on medical leave.
Arcadio is originally from Donalsonville, Ga and is married to Nadia and father to 3 children.
Please join us in congratulating Arcadio for his commitment to our community and loyalty to the quality of our parks system!

Spotlight on Service: Our Team in Action, Making a Difference in the Community
City of Bainbridge employees volunteered Friday night at the Bearcat football game to staff the concession stand that benefits the BHS Marching Band. The band has been a great partner to us for many years and this was just a small way to give back to a program who gives so much to us.
It might not feel like sweater weather just yet, but guess what? It’s officially fall and the leaves are ready to start their colorful dance, and pumpkin spice is calling our names! With extra yard debris to think about, here are some tips to make leaf and limb pick up a breeze:
At yesterday's monthly Chamber Connect luncheon presented by the Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by First Port City Bank, Mayor Edward Reynolds had the pleasure of introducing new City Manager Roy Oliver at his first community event since being named City Manager just a few weeks ago. Mayor Reynolds gave a little bit of background information about Roy and then turned the microphone over to him to describe, in his own words, his vision, some recent successes and allowed him to introduce members of his team that were on hand.
Bainbridge Public Safety sent officers to Alma, Georgia yesterday to assist in hurricane recovery efforts there. Chief Investigator Mark Esquivel, Investigator Josh Glover, Investigator Gaston Corson and PSO 3/ K9 Officer Chris Moore spent the day assisting local residents with tree and limb removal, clearing roadways and providing much needed aid.
Often, in times of natural disasters such as Hurricane Helene, our officers extend support to those in need beyond our area.
Our September Comprehensive Plan Meeting has been rescheduled to October 24, 2024. It will still be held at our Public Safety Training Facility at 6:00 PM.
