Roswell City Administrator Submits Resignation

ROSWELL, GA -- The city of Roswell has embarked on a plan to find a new administrator to run its day-to-day operations.

That's because Kay Love has submitted her resignation to the city. In a letter dated April 17, Love tendered her resignation with "mixed emotions," and requested her last day to be May 19.

The month-long period, she added, will allow her to work on critical projects and to coordinate a transition plan with city staff.

City spokesperson Julie Brechbill said Love will begin a new position with the Georgia Municipal Association, an advocacy organization for member cities throughout the Peach State.

Roswell has posted an advertisement for the job on the International City/County Management Association webpage as well as its own website.

Love has served as Roswell's administrator since February 2007. Before her appointment to the city administrator post, Love served as the city's deputy administrator for three years. Love previously worked for 10 years in local government financial management for Columbus-Muscogee County and another 10 years in public education financial management.

She holds an MBA and a B.B.A from Columbus State University.

"I've had the honor and privilege to work alongside the most dedicated and talented staff anywhere in local government," she said in her letter. "Their commitment to the delivery of high quality services to our citizens is inspiring and makes me proud to have been part of the team. It has been the most rewarding experience in my professional career."
