As the new

administration gets ready to conduct its first meeting, Senoia Mayor Dianne

Cleveland said the city is in good shape.

Cleveland said

more than 25 candidates applied for the city administrator's job and the

city has narrowed the field down to five.

The candidates

all possess college degrees and have experience in writing grants, said

Cleveland.

City officials

will also fill all three of the vacancies on the Planning Commission at

the Jan. 7 meeting, and are also moving ahead with plans to hire a librarian.

Cleveland said

members of the library board will meet this week and narrow the candidates

down to two for the city council to interview.

"I don't

know if the former administration thought they were going to leave us

high and dry, but we're moving right along," Cleveland said.
