Johns Creek Council seeks more say over appointments

Johns Creek will ask its legislative delegation to change its charter so members of the City Council have more authority over the hiring and firing of the city manager and city attorney. The proposed change would give the Council more say in the hiring and firing of both employees. Current municipal code provides that both positions serve at the pleasure of the mayor. The new resolution changes the wording to read both positions serve at the pleasure of the City Council.

The vote was 6-1, with Mayor Mike Bodker opposed to the changes.
