Peachtree City Public Works Director Tom Corbett has been fired, city officials have confirmed.

Corbett was dismissed for job performance reasons, according to city spokesperson Betsy Tyler. The city is not divulging any details on why Corbett was let go, but there are no allegations of any criminal activity on Corbett’s part, she said.

The termination is not part of any reduction in force on behalf of the city, Tyler said. The firing was handled by City Manager Bernie McMullen with no associated vote necessary from the City Council.

Corbett has been the city’s public works director since July 2004.

Scott Hicks, who as superintendent of public works has served as the second in command under Corbett, is now serving as acting director of the department.

The public works department includes 33 employees along with another three stormwater employees who are paid by stormwater funds but answer directly to the public works director, Tyler said.

At the time of his termination, Corbett was earning $77,206 a year.
