The Cleveland City Council has secured the services of City Administrator Kevin Harris for at least another five years. Following an executive session Monday night, the council voted to extend Harris’ contract through December 31, 2029. He agreed and signed that contract.
The city administrator commended council members for their working relationships.
“All five of them are really committed to the city and I think we are growing in a positive direction. I think them [being] willing to do this acknowledges the hard work of the staff and the hard work they have put in and they want to see some things continue,” he said.
Harris began his service as Cleveland city administrator on May 2, 2022. Prior to coming to Cleveland, he served as the government affairs director for the Georgia Department of Human Services, where he coordinated all legislative efforts for the department and its programs, including the Department of Family and Children Services.
During his two years with the city, Harris has been instrumental in updating personnel and other policy documents.
