Ceasar C. Mitchell, president of Atlanta's City Council, shuffled the chairmanships of four committees while keeping the same chairs of three others.
Mitchell put Felicia Moore in charge of the finance/executive committee, replacing Yolanda Adrean. Adrean will take over the committee on council, which makes recommendations on revision of ordinances and ethics issues. Alex Wan replaces Aaron Watson as zoning committee chairman, while Michael Julian Bond replaces Ivory Lee Young Jr. as chairman of the public safety committee.
Mitchell retained Natalyn Archibong as chair of the utilities committee, Joyce Sheperd as chair of the community development and human resources committee, and council veteran C.T. Martin as head of the transportation committee.
The assignments will cover the upcoming legislative year.
"I am pleased to once again appoint individuals with the skill sets that are aligned with the needs of each council committee," Mitchell said in a statement. "The goal is to position talents on committees where they can best serve our city."
