APPOINTMENT from P1 tor, senior assistant to the county administrator and General Services manager. His experience also includes extensive service with the Virginia Department of Transportation. Hicks completed his undergraduate work at VCU and holds a masters in Urban Systems Engineering from George Mason University. Former County Administrator Sandy Wanner praised Steven for the report card that Hicks established to assess how well the county was meeting the needs of the development community. “Steven’s track record as a leader is one of the reasons he is well-respected in the development community. He is not afraid to take on a challenge and is able to rally the right people together to get a job done,” said Wanner. Hicks will oversee the county’s regulatory functions including the departments of Building Inspections, Economic Development/Revitalization, Environmental Engineering, Planning, Transportation and Utilities. Bailey and Hicks join two other recent additions to the county’s executive team. Sarah Snead, former Chesterfield – Colonial Heights Social Services director, was promoted to deputy county administrator for Human Services in June. Jeff Mincks, former deputy county attorney, was named county attorney last month following the retirement of the former county attorney. Together, all four new team members have more than 96 years of public service experience.
