Johns Creek Assistant City Manager Named Oconee County Administrator

JOHNS CREEK, GA -- The Oconee County Commission has named Johns Creek Assistant City Manager Justin Kirouac to the post of county administrator.

Kirouac was named the sole finalist for the position last month and commissioners formally made the appointment at their Tuesday, July 11 meeting, said Oconee County Commission Chairman John Daniell.

Kirouac told Patch his last day with the city of Johns Creek will be July 25, and he will start work with Oconee County on July 31.

"I’m excited to begin working with the Oconee County commissioners, staff and residents," he added. "I’ve been able to get involved in so many aspects of the city over the years ranging from customer service and community relations to operation improvements and technical implementation measures that all help build the toolkit to serve as a county administrator. I’m really looking forward to helping Oconee County fully articulate and then helping staff execute on its community vision."

Kirouac began his career serving as the economic development specialist and senior planner with the city of Duluth before going to the Georgia Municipal Association to work as its research and information manager.

Before coming to Johns Creek in February 2007, Kirouac was the development review manager, principal planner and senior planner with Gwinnett County Planning and Development Department. Before he was named Johns Creek's assistant city manager, he served as the city's planning and zoning manager, deputy community development director and interim community development director.

Kirouac earned his bachelor's degree in political science from Grove City College and a master's degree in public administration from Georgia State University.

City of Johns Creek spokesperson Jeff Breslau said a decision about replacing Kirouac has not been made yet.
