Douglas County Administrator To Step Down After 8 Months On The Job

DOUGLAS COUNTY, GA — Douglas County Administrator Sharon Subadan has resigned, effective at year's end, after eight months on the job.

Douglas County Chairwoman Romona Jackson Jones confirmed the resignation but didn't provide many details as to why Subadan is leaving, she told the Douglas County Sentinel. Subadan also declined to comment.

"Ms. Subadan has decided to resign and pursue other opportunities," Jones told the news outlet. "We appreciated her services to the county and wish her the best."

Before joining Douglas County, Subadan was the city manager for the city of Albany. She started in her role in the county in April, replacing former County Administrator Mark Teal, whose contract was not renewed in December 2020, according to the Sentinel.

A search for Subadan's replacement will begin soon. She was the top non-elected official in the county, running its day-to-day operations including budget oversight. She received an annual base salary of $215,000 and a $400-per-month vehicle allowance, the Sentinel reported.
