< Back Cave Spring hires Nick McLemore as city manager Jul 25, 2023 The Cave Spring City Council has voted to hire Nick McLemore for the job of city manager. He will start work on Monday. “We are very pleased that Nick has accepted the position as Cave Spring’s first-ever city manager,” said Mayor Rob Ware. “He brings a lot of real-world experience and educational knowledge to the job.” McLemore said that he is excited and nervous at the same time. “Our city has been put out there as the best city in the state,” he said. “We want to make it the best city in the Southeast and continue to build on what our city council, our residents, and all the volunteers have been doing over the past several decades.” McLemore was born in Floyd County and grew up in Cave Spring. He began a career in public safety right out of high school, working as a police officer for about 10 years and as a firefighter for about 20 years.He also taught for a brief time at a public college as an adjunct professor before moving into the private sector, working for several years as the director of business operations with Deaton Fleet Solutions. He has also owned and operated a family business for more than 15 years and has served on the Cave Spring City Council.Most recently, he was Cave Spring’s sole representative on the Citizens SPLOST Advisory Committee, whose job it was to come up with a final list of projects to be included in a special purpose, local option sales tax referendum to be held on Nov. 7.One of the projects that McLemore will oversee as city manager is a large water and sewer project.“We just spent time, with the proposed SPLOST coming up, for Cave Spring to hopefully be awarded $3 million for that water project,” he said. “That SPLOST means a lot, not only to the residents inside the city limits but also in the southern region of Floyd County and the areas that we serve. We look for great things to come from that and to be able to complete that project.”According to McLemore, one of his main priorities as city manager is to build a great team.“I think that Mayor Ware and the council have done great with that,” he added. “We have a few hurdles to clear with getting our staffing back up to the levels where we can begin to develop that and move forward with that plan.”According to the job description, the city manager will be responsible for the overall administration of city government, including personnel, budgets, purchasing, grants, and pensions.Cave Spring currently has five elected council members and an elected mayor, which is a part-time position. Under the previous charter, the mayor was the chief administrator. The council began discussions in earnest about making the change back in January, with all five council members and Mayor Ware expressing support.A new charter was approved by the Georgia General Assembly during the last legislative session, which changed Cave Spring to a city manager form of government. Twelve candidates submitted applications for the city manager’s job, with interviews taking place over the last several weeks. Previous Next

< Back Shoaf, Mink win Cave Spring City Council seats Nov 8, 2023 Cave Spring’s former mayor Dennis Shoaf won the Post 1 seat on the Cave Spring City Council on Tuesday, beating out incumbent Tom Lindsey and political newcomer Jonathan Mills. Post 2 incumbent Joyce Mink retained her seat to start a new term in January after besting challengers Nancy Fricks and Michael Baxter. Shoaf is a former city council member who served as mayor from 2016 until 2019. He captured 106 votes to Lindsey’s 89 and Mills’ 19. Mink was appointed to the council in 2017 and won a full four-year term in 2019. She garnered 110 votes compared to 72 for Fricks and 32 for Baxter. Both Shoaf and Mink cited the city’s recent purchase of the former Cave Spring Elementary School as an important focal point going forward. “We have to find a substantial use for that building,” Shoaf said. He said he’s not up to speed on all the details yet, but he wants to ensure it will be financially sustainable. He also hinted at getting “some folks up in Rome” involved once he is seated and working with the other council members. Mink said her push for a town hall to discuss the building’s use — attended by about 300 people — was likely a big factor in her re-election. There were some good suggestions, she said, “and I want to be sure their voices are heard.” With over 60,000 square feet in the complex, Mink said there will be room for some community space even if a portion is leased out to businesses. The gymnasium would make a wonderful facility for the city’s children, the former teacher said. “And we have a substantial senior population in town; I would love to see something for the seniors,” she said. Mink also said she wanted to be in office as the city transitions to a city manager/council form of government, to be sure the new manager gets the training and support he needs. Nick McLemore was hired into the role in July and Mink said it’s working well. The city clerk is happy there’s a full-time administrator on board, she said, and McLemore is showing that he’s committed to the job. Mink is too: “I’m retired. I have the time. I do things with my children and grandchildren, but I love Cave Spring and I also want to do things for my community.” Shoaf expressed similar goals in wanting Cave Spring to be a place that’s responsive to its residents and positioned well for the future. One of his first projects, he said, will be to advocate for a program that lets people opt to round up their water bill payment. The extra money would be used to help people who can’t afford their water bill. “It may seem minute, but I think it could be beneficial,” he said. But the main thing he wants to do — and why he feels so many people urged him to run — is to reestablish partnerships with the City of Rome and Floyd County. “We need to build these relationships back — and to have good relationships in the council,” Shoaf said.
