Snellville council member Tod Warner has announced that he will not run for re-election this fall.

Warner, who ran unopposed for the seat in 2007, said he wanted to spend more time with his family. He is married with three children ranging in age from 6 to 12.

“It started to be a little bit of a burden,” Warner said.

With Warner's decision, four of the five seats on the council will be up for grabs in the fall.

However, Warner will remain involved in local politics as a board member on the city's Urban Redevelopment Authority. His appointment was announced Monday.
