City Administrator Bob Regus didn't have to look too far to find a new No. 2 in City Hall. He found James Drinkard just down South Main Street in the Community Development offices when the city needed a new assistant city administrator.
Drinkard was appointed by Regus to the post last held by Robbie Rokovitz, who resigned to become city manager of Holly Springs in Cherokee County. Regus said recently that four in-house candidates had applied for the position.
Drinkard worked as the city's economic development director under Community Development Director Diana Wheeler. He was hired in August 2000 after having worked as director of the Effingham County Development Authority.
Drinkard's economic development position had him serving as a liaison between the city government and businesses, working to address the needs of existing businesses and industries and market Alpharetta to new ones. A resident of Woodstock, Drinkard has served as the Cherokee County city's planning commission chairman.
