Mableton names communications director and municipal court administrator; zoning board member sworn in
Summary
Council unanimously approved Gregory Woods as communications director and Mallory Minor as municipal court administrator; Jerry Aldridge was sworn in to the Board of Zoning Appeals.
The Mableton City Council approved two key staff appointments and swore in a board member on June 25.
By unanimous voice vote, council confirmed Gregory Woods as the city’s inaugural communications director. The mayor nominated Woods and council members seconded the appointment; the clerk recorded unanimous support. Woods, introduced by city officials after a nationwide search, thanked the council: “I just want to say thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to continue doing the work that you guys are already doing to foster transparency, to build trust, to engage the residents,” he said after the vote.
Council also unanimously confirmed Mallory Minor as municipal court administrator. Minor said she was “truly honored to serve” and outlined goals to implement systems designed to uphold fairness, streamline case management and foster public trust as the new municipal court is established.
Separately, Jerry Aldridge was sworn in as a member of the Board of Zoning Appeals. Aldridge took the oath of office on the dais and signed the oath paperwork with the city clerk.
City officials said both staff appointments followed national or extensive recruitment processes and panel interviews; each nominee will begin duties immediately. Council members congratulated the appointees and said they expected the new hires to help improve resident communications and the functioning of the new municipal court.
