City Manager Scott Wood on Thursday announced during the City Council work session the city hired Susan Stanton to take the place of Coty Ervin, who left the position in September.
Stanton is an attorney by trade and had been doing contract work with the Georgia Attorney’s General office.
Stanton, who started on Nov. 21, will have a salary of $50,000.
Wood said Stanton has a “strong interest in city government,” but has a learning curve in the job.
He did note her legal background “gives her a distinctive advantage” to manage record keeping.
