| City Manager John B. Johnson 
John B. Johnson was appointed City Manager on October
6, 1997 by unanimous vote of the city council. John has over 17 years experience in
local government operations. Previously he served as City Manager for the City of
Pikeville, Kentucky. Prior to his governmental work, he was involved in the banking
and insurance sector. John is responsible for the day-to-day operations and
management of the city and its personnel. The City Manager works under the direction
of the Mayor and City Council and implements policies set forth by them. He oversees
the approximately 84 full-time personnel, including six department heads, as well as 20-40
part-time and seasonal employees. John is married to Susan, his wife of nine years,
and is very involved with his church and local and community activities. John's love
of Jefferson City and the surrounding area prompted his move to our area ten years ago.
"Jefferson City, Tennessee is one of the
finest places I know to live in, raise a family, and experience the beauty of our
creation. With the closeness of The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, TVA lakes,
and Knoxville, along with Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, our town is the perfect place for a
business, and community atmosphere. We are at the forefront of something special, as
we are growing and expanding daily. Growth estimates project our town to nearly
double in size over the next 20-30 years. Jefferson City is committed to recruiting
new business and commerce, as well as to offering expanding job opportunities to its
residents. Along with the rapid changes taking place, our town still has the feel
of a close-knit community where strong moral values and home-town traditions are the norm.
Our city is blessed with the finest employees anyone could ask for. We invite
you to come and visit us, stay a while, and make us your home. This is truly a
wonderful place. It is an honor to serve as the City Manager of Jefferson
City."
