< Back Shoaf, Mink win Cave Spring City Council seats Nov 8, 2023 Cave Spring’s former mayor Dennis Shoaf won the Post 1 seat on the Cave Spring City Council on Tuesday, beating out incumbent Tom Lindsey and political newcomer Jonathan Mills. Post 2 incumbent Joyce Mink retained her seat to start a new term in January after besting challengers Nancy Fricks and Michael Baxter. Shoaf is a former city council member who served as mayor from 2016 until 2019. He captured 106 votes to Lindsey’s 89 and Mills’ 19. Mink was appointed to the council in 2017 and won a full four-year term in 2019. She garnered 110 votes compared to 72 for Fricks and 32 for Baxter. Both Shoaf and Mink cited the city’s recent purchase of the former Cave Spring Elementary School as an important focal point going forward. “We have to find a substantial use for that building,” Shoaf said. He said he’s not up to speed on all the details yet, but he wants to ensure it will be financially sustainable. He also hinted at getting “some folks up in Rome” involved once he is seated and working with the other council members. Mink said her push for a town hall to discuss the building’s use — attended by about 300 people — was likely a big factor in her re-election. There were some good suggestions, she said, “and I want to be sure their voices are heard.” With over 60,000 square feet in the complex, Mink said there will be room for some community space even if a portion is leased out to businesses. The gymnasium would make a wonderful facility for the city’s children, the former teacher said. “And we have a substantial senior population in town; I would love to see something for the seniors,” she said. Mink also said she wanted to be in office as the city transitions to a city manager/council form of government, to be sure the new manager gets the training and support he needs. Nick McLemore was hired into the role in July and Mink said it’s working well. The city clerk is happy there’s a full-time administrator on board, she said, and McLemore is showing that he’s committed to the job. Mink is too: “I’m retired. I have the time. I do things with my children and grandchildren, but I love Cave Spring and I also want to do things for my community.” Shoaf expressed similar goals in wanting Cave Spring to be a place that’s responsive to its residents and positioned well for the future. One of his first projects, he said, will be to advocate for a program that lets people opt to round up their water bill payment. The extra money would be used to help people who can’t afford their water bill. “It may seem minute, but I think it could be beneficial,” he said. But the main thing he wants to do — and why he feels so many people urged him to run — is to reestablish partnerships with the City of Rome and Floyd County. “We need to build these relationships back — and to have good relationships in the council,” Shoaf said.

< Back Important Winter Weather Information Jan 23, 2026 City of Cave Spring Residents, The City has important information regarding the pending inclement weather. Please bring all pets indoors or ensure that adequate heating methods are in place for outdoor animals. To protect your home: • Wrap all outside pipes and faucets. • Open cabinets to allow warm air to circulate around exposed pipes. • Allow faucets to drip during freezing temperatures. • In the event of a power outage, and if you do not have a heat source, turn off the water at the main hand valve and drain your pipes to prevent damage. Please make sure you have an adequate water supply: • Fill tubs, jugs, and containers with water for drinking and flushing. • If filling bathtubs or large containers, ensure small children are kept away from standing water for safety. Please stay home and do not travel unless it is an emergency. Check on your neighbors. Avoid going outside unless you have a way to stay warm. Gather in one area of your home to conserve heat. If we experience extreme freezing temperatures, and depending on road conditions, there may be limited response capability from the fire and police departments. Both departments are fully staffed and on standby for emergencies. The City is in continuous communication with 911 dispatch and is using internal communication systems to remain informed and coordinated. In the event of a power outage, state law requires that if water tank levels fall below 25%, water usage must be limited to ensure adequate supply for the fire department in the event of an emergency. The City has a plan in place should power outages impact water supply. Please ensure all phones and devices are fully charged. During a power outage, we recommend designating one phone as an emergency phone—disable nonessential features and conserve battery so it is available if you need to make an emergency call. The fire department, police department, city staff, and council have been working hard all week preparing for this winter event. While we hope these measures will not be needed, we are prepared to the best of our ability. Stay safe, City of Cave Spring Make sure you are also following Cave Spring Fire and Rescue, Floyd County Emergency Management Agency Floyd County E-911 GA for other information and updates.
