CUMMING — It appears the Cumming City Council may meet next week to discuss the possible impeachment of a long-serving member.

A “notice of specially called meeting” obtained by the Forsyth County News on Friday states that the council plans to convene at 2 p.m. Tuesday.

The purpose of the meeting, according to the document, is consideration of impeachment of Councilman Rupert Sexton for “disclosure of personal financial information and health insurance information of city of Cumming employees.”

Crystal Ledford, a public information assistant for the city, confirmed the time and date, but did not know what the meeting would cover. She said an official notice would be released Monday.

Cumming Mayor H. Ford Gravitt also confirmed the meeting, but said he had been advised by legal counsel not to say anything and couldn’t elaborate on its purpose.

News of the meeting comes in the same week that a purported list of city employees’ insurance information surfaced on social media.

According to Sexton, the meeting does indeed involve that list and his possible impeachment.

“According to what I’m alleged to have done, is a list was put out with … a list of people on the health plan,” Sexton said. “And also a list of the employees’ salaries.”

Sexton denied the claims, saying he has never done anything unbecoming of a public official.

“I don’t know a thing, other than I’m being accused of something,” he said. “My answer is I’ve not done anything immoral, illegal or unethical, so I don’t know what’s going on. I’ve not released any documents to anybody.”

While elected officials such as councilmen can be subject to a public recall, it was not immediately clear if the city council has the ability to impeach one of its own.

City Attorney Dana Miles was out of the office until Tuesday and unavailable for comment.

Sexton has served on the council since Jan. 1, 1971, and is a fifth-generation native of Cumming. He is also a veteran of the U.S. Army and a retired insurance agent.

If the impeachment were successful, or Sexton were to leave the city’s governing body, the council would have its first vacancy since the early 1990s.
