The City of Winder announced Wednesday that current City Administrator, Mandi Cody, will be resigning from her position effective Jan. 12.
Cody said she is stepping away from city administration and is proud of the many accomplishments of the city council and staff during her tenure.
“We have so many wins to celebrate over the last three years. Winder is thriving because of this team, and the work that they do every day for residents is remarkable,” said Cody.
According to Mayor Jimmy Terrell, the search for Cody’s replacement will begin immediately for either an interim or permanent replacement.
Terrell said, “We wish her well. It was a 6-0 vote to accept Cody’s resignation, and she will receive a 6-month severance package.”
Former Mayor David Maynard said that Cody embodied the true meaning of a public servant.
“I know a lot of people who have done a lot of things for the city, but Mandi came to us in a time where we needed help financially and strategically. She worked to build our current team of department heads, which I believe is the best team we have ever had,” he said.
Cody’s departure comes four months after Assistant City Administrator Roger Wilhelm resigned to join the private sector.
