Augusta-Richmond County will need a new administrator.
Augusta-Richmond County Administrator Odie Donald II has notified commissioners he will be resigning his position. Sources say he called each of the commissioners Tuesday, Feb. 1 to let them know he will be taking a job elsewhere.
District 8 Commissioner Brandon Garrett confirms he received a phone call from Donald about 10 p.m. on Feb. 1.
Garrett says Donald told him was accepting another position but did not divulge what or where the job is due to a non-disclosure agreement. Donald told Garrett his last day with Augusta-Richmond County will be Feb. 25.
Donald began as city administrator in November 2020. Prior to that, he was city manager for the City of South Fulton County, which was Georgia’s fifth-largest city.
