The city of

Fairburn has a new clerk.

During Monday

night's meeting, the City Council unanimously approved Nancy Faulkner

for the position.

City Administrator

Tony Cox said he was glad to have Faulkner in the position, since he had

been doing the clerk's job along with his own for the past few weeks.

Faulkner said

she is extremely happy to come to work for the city and looks forward

to working with some of the friendly people she has already met.

For the last

12 years, Faulkner worked for the Peachtree City government. After starting

out as a dispatcher, she gradually worked her way up the ladder to city

clerk.

Fairburn's

newest employee has lived in the Peachtree City area for most of her life,

and graduated from McIntosh High School.

After she graduated

high school, she joined the military and served as a clerk.

"That's

where it all started," she said.

Faulkner has

three children, ages 13, 4 and 3, and said she's ready to get busy in

her new position.

"I'm extremely

happy to be here. There's so much growth going on that I know it's going

to be a challenging position," she said.
