March 28, 2012

A new Gwinnett County water resources director will spend the next two years reviewing department operations.

County Administrator Glenn Stephens named Ron Seibenhener, a consultant and former engineering firm president, to lead Gwinnett’s water resources department for a two-year term. The Board of commissioners ratified the appointment Tuesday.

In addition to reviewing department operations, he will develop long-term goals and help recruit his successor. Lynn Smarr, who has been acting director, will return to the position of assistant director.
