Fulton County attorney will fill in as county manager

Fulton County Attorney David Ware will be in charge of the county government’s day-to-day operations for the first two months of 2013. After a closed meeting, the County Commission picked Ware to serve as interim county manager upon the departure of Zachary Williams, who resigned to become DeKalb County’s chief operating officer.

Ware will take over in the middle of the county’s budget process. The interim job will last 60 days starting Jan. 1, while the board looks for a new manager. Deputy County Attorney Larry Ramsey, meanwhile, will fill in for Ware.
