The mayor and council of the city of Dalton will hold a called meeting Thursday at 5:45 p.m. in City Hall to name Steve Roberts the sole finalist for Parks and Recreation director.
After that vote, state law requires a 14-day period before Roberts can be hired as the new director.
Roberts currently serves as the director of the Parks and Recreation Department in Cartersville. He worked in the Dalton Parks and Recreation Department from 2001 to 2017, beginning as an adult and youth athletic supervisor and rising to the position of athletic coordinator. He left to become assistant director of the LaFayette Parks and Recreation Department before becoming the director of Kennesaw’s Parks and Recreation Department. After four years in Kennesaw, Roberts took over as the director in Cartersville in 2023.
Former Dalton recreation department director Caitlin Sharpe resigned in July to pursue a teaching position at Jacksonville State University.
Submitted by the city of Dalton.
