Former DeKalb COO up for Clarkston job

Among the finalists for the city manager job in Clarkston is Keith Barker, former chief operating officer for DeKalb County. Barker was fired in September, after he admitted to having a sexual relationship with a water department secretary. The county paid Barker a $100,000 severance.

The other two finalists for the Clarkston position are: David Clabo, former city manager in Dallas, Ga., and Frederick Gardiner, director of planning and development in Griffin.
