A local government official from Tennessee has been named finalist for Roswell city administrator.
Gary Palmer, assistant town manager of Farragut, Tenn., was chosen by Roswell Mayor Jere Wood and the City Council, officials said. They are to vote on Palmer’s appointment at a special called council meeting Oct. 10.
Palmer will serve as Roswell’s chief operating officer, overseeing day-to-day operations and managing a $146 million budget, more than 30 departments, divisions and offices and 600 full-time employees.
“Gary Palmer will bring a lot of experience and enthusiasm to the job,” Wood said. “There is going to be a transition period for the city next year with a new mayor and new council members, and I believe he is up for that challenge.”
Palmer has 25 years of local government experience; served in the Marine Corps from 1988 to 1992, and in the active reserves from 1994 to 2000; and has a master’s degree in public administration and a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from the University of Toledo.
