After filling out the unexpired term of her predecessor, Cobb Planning Commission chairwoman Judy Williams has been reappointed to a full four-year term.
Williams was reappointed earlier this week by Cobb Commissioner JoAnn Birrell to represent District 3, which covers the Northeast Cobb and Town Center/KSU areas.
Earlier this year, Williams became the chairwoman of the five-member board, which hears zoning cases and makes recommendations to county commissioners, after then-chairman Mike Terry retired.
Williams, whose term starts on Jan. 1, has served on the planning board before, appointed by former Cobb Commission Chairman Tim Lee. She was chosen early last year to replace Christine Trombetti, an East Cobb realtor who had served for 14 years.
Compensation for chairing the planning board is $275 a month.
Birrell, who was re-elected last month, also reappointed Williams to serve on the Cobb Board of Zoning Appeals, also for four years starting Jan. 1.
District 2 commissioner Bob Ott also made several reappointments this week.
Two prominent East Cobb citizens will continue serving on the Cobb Neighborhood Safety Commission. Longtime East Cobb Civic Association activist Trish Steiner will serve through September 2020. The term of Joe Gavalis, who is spearheading an East Cobb cityhood initiative, will end in December 2021.
Ott also reappointed Jill Flamm, another veteran East Cobb Civic Association leader, to the Cobb Recreation Board, through March 2023.
Jon Jordan, an East Cobb resident, will continue serving on the Cobb Library Board of Trustees through 2021. An author of military history books and an attorney, Jordan was appointed by Ott last year to fill an unexpired term.
