Maintaining

the quality of the summer concert series at the Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater

is a top priority for the Peachtree City Development Authority, which

will consider how to hire a new amphitheater director at its next meeting.

The authority

will convene a special called meeting Monday night at 6 p.m. at the Peachtree

City Library to discuss "evaluation of personnel," according

to authority chairman Tom Farr. A vote on the issue is not expected to

take place, though the authority's regular meeting is the following Monday

and a vote could be recorded then, Farr pointed out.

The called

meeting opens the door for the authority to consider hiring a current

employee of the amphitheater to replace outgoing director Kristi Rapson,

although the authority could decide to advertise the position in a broader

search for a new director.

"We will

talk about replacing Kristi," Farr confirmed.

Farr said the

authority will likely go into executive session to discuss the matter,

as allowed by Georgia law for the evaluation of employees. The authority's

attorney, Mark Oldenburg, has already approved that action, Farr said.

The main priority

in selecting a candidate is making sure the quality level that the summer

concert series has reached under Rapson's direction will be maintained,

Farr said. News articles about her resignation have drawn a significant

amount of interest in the position, Farr said.
