Mulberry hires Chuck Button as new city manager

Chuck Button oversaw the administration of Gwinnett County government when the county was experiencing some of its fastest growth in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Now, he’s leading the administration of the county’s newest city. Mulberry officials hired Button to be their new city manager. He will replace Jamie Palmer, who stepped down last month to go back to college and work on his MBA. “Mr. Chuck Button has an amazing amount of experience, and I think he’s going to help guide us through what’s ahead in the City of Mulberry,” City Councilman Doug Ingram, who led the city manager search, said. “Our citizens are wanting stability and a foundation of peace and tranquility. Mr. Button’s expertise will help us achieve that.” The Mulberry City council approved Button’s hiring last week and he took over from Mulberry Chief Marshal Robert Jones, who had stepped in as interim city manager after Palmer stepped down. The new city manager’s hiring was effective immediately. Button’s name is a familiar one around Gwinnett County. He served as the county administrator in the late 1980s and early 1990s and then served as the chief operating officer at Jacobs Engineering. He continues to be active

Conyers drops proposed short-term rental ordinances

CONYERS — After months of discussion and opposition from residents concerned about the impact of Airbnb-style rentals on their neighborhoods, the Conyers City Council decided not to move forward with two proposed ordinances to regulate short-term rental properties. During its Nov. 4 work session, the council agreed to abandon Ordinances 1488 and 1490, which would have established where short-term rentals could operate and created a permitting and enforcement system for properties rented to guests for 30 days or less. The decision followed another round of public comments from residents who argued that allowing short-term rentals in residential neighborhoods could threaten their quality of life, introduce commercial activity into established communities and create additional enforcement challenges for the city. According to the city’s official meeting summary, the council will not place either ordinance on a future agenda for adoption. The decision leaves the city’s existing regulations in place rather than establishing a new permitting system. However, questions remain about how the city will address short-term rentals operating without authorization and whether it will consider additional enforcement measures. Four residents — Nadine Bailey, Judy Mauran, Jackson Welch and Carol Mills — addressed the council during the work session, urging members to reject
