The Augusta Commission voted Tuesday to hire Odie Donald II as city administrator at a salary of $240,000, a substantial increase over the city’s prior chief executives, and increased Sheriff Richard Roundtree’s salary by $50,000 to $176,500 effective Jan. 1.
Donald, the city manager of South Fulton, Ga., will begin work Nov. 16. His starting salary in South Fulton in 2018 was at around $200,000, and he recently was a finalist for Savannah city manager. Donald replaces former administrator Janice Allen Jackson, who got around $180,000.
