Overstreet has served as Vidalia’s City Manager since 2016, when he succeeded retired City Manager Bill Torrance. He will be paid a severance package through the end of this year based on a contractual agreement with

the City. “Much thought and consideration went into our final decision to part ways with Mr. Overstreet, but it is our job as the City Council to do what is best for the city,” Councilman Cecil Thompson emphasized. “I look forward to continuing to work for our city’s best interest.”

In the absence of a City Manager, former City Clerk and Finance Director Bill Bedingfield will take over an interim role as City Manager, which was unanimously agreed on by the City Council. According to the City Council the search for a new City Manager begins immediately.
