Doraville names Chuck Atkinson sole finalist for city manager and approves contract
Summary
After executive session on March 18, Doraville’s council announced Chuck Atkinson as sole finalist for city manager, approved the contract and amended the retirement plan; the council authorized the mayor to sign pending final attorney approval.
Following an executive session on personnel, litigation and real estate, Doraville’s City Council moved on the record to name Chuck Atkinson as the sole finalist for city manager and to approve the form of the contract and a retirement‑plan amendment. The council also authorized the mayor to sign the contract once the city attorney completes final review.
A council member made a motion on the record announcing Atkinson as the sole finalist, to approve the contract provided to the city clerk, to amend the retirement plan and to give the mayor signing authority once legal review is complete; the council seconded and approved the motion. The motion text was read into the record and the mayor instructed the clerk to proceed with final approvals.
Chuck Atkinson addressed the council and said he was humbled by the selection and looked forward to serving the city. Several council members thanked him for his service as interim city manager and expressed confidence in his experience with the city.
Next steps: the city attorney will complete final contract review and, when finished, the mayor will sign the contract as authorized by the council at this meeting.
