A former Fulton County deputy fire chief and a former Florida administrator are competing to be Chamblee’s city manager.
The Chamblee City Council selected Niles Ford and Gary Adams as the finalists for the position, interim city manager Marc Johnson said.
Adams currently serves as village administrator in Oswego, Ill., where he oversees 120 employees and a $27 million budget. He previously served as county administrator in Hernando County and Putnam County in Florida.
Ford has served as fire chief in Lincoln, Neb. since 2007 when he left Fulton. Ford worked four years as a deputy chief with Fulton Fire.
The city received 107 applications for the position, which has been vacant since November. The City Council interviewed five applicants this weekend and selected the two finalists.
The Council is expected to vote on a selection March 15 at 7:30 p.m. at the Chamblee Civic Center on Broad Street.
