Lavonia Nails Down Timeline for Hiring New City Manager

The City of Lavonia is moving forward with their search for a new city manager.

Current manager Gary Fesperman is retiring at the end of the year.

At their work session last week, the Lavonia City Council discussed a timeline for Fesperman’s replacement.

Fesperman told the council he has been working for the past several weeks on a job description and job requirements in order to begin advertising for the position.

After some discussion, the Council agreed to begin advertising for a new city manager in May with a view towards having the candidates narrowed down to the final three by July.

The Council hopes to have the new city manager hired and ready to begin work in August.
