Hartman Steps Down After Term

DeKalb County Commissioner William Hartman is stepping down early, citing health, his wife’s health, and age as reasons, with his final day set for June 30 — six months before his term was to end. He’s proud of his accomplishments and ready for full-time retirement, declining a third term. The Republican primary has already chosen Terry Yarde as his successor. Hartman hopes to stay involved as a citizen on the Sunny Meadows committee, replacing a member sidelined by health issues. Fellow commissioners Jim Miller and Kellen Dooley support his decision and his continued role on the committee. His departure ends his tenure in the west district, and the county will need to appoint a replacement to finish his term. Hartman believes stepping down now is the right move.
