Chamblee has hired its first finance director to help guide the north DeKalb County city of about 15,000.
Travis Sims, formerly a senior accountant with Metrac Inc. in Atlanta, has taken the new role to help prepare and monitor the city budget and manage its cash flow.
Sims will work directly for City Manager Niles Ford, who took office in May.
The new faces are among several changes in the city, which grew by nearly 6,000 people through annexation. Chamblee also recently cut its tax millage rate from 7.95 mills to 7.4 mills. The change saves about $33 on tax bills for on the average home, assessed at $225,000.
