At least seven Birmingham city departments lost their leadership during Mayor Randall Woodfin's first week in office.

Public Works director Stephen Fancher has retired from his post, an employee at his office said on Monday. Fancher served in the position for the last five years. He also previously served as the director of public works from 1990 to 2007, according to his LinkedIn page.

Last week, police Chief A.C. Roper announced he was stepping down from his post of 10 years. He will continue as chief until a replacement is hired. Human resources director Peggy Polk also announced last week that she is retiring.

Woodfin was sworn in to office as Birmingham's 30th mayor on Tuesday, Nov. 28.

During a press conference on Wednesday, Woodfin said leadership changes were coming to the community development and economic development departments. He said the departments would be restructured.

John Colon, director of community development, and Lisa Cooper, director of economic development, no longer work for the city, employees in both departments confirmed last week.

On Nov. 29, the mayor's office said Woodfin reduced the number of Mayor William Bell appointees by 53.

There were 95 Bell appointees working for the city on Tuesday, Nov. 28, according to Woodfin's office. By the next day, the number was down to 48.

Late Monday afternoon, Woodfin's office released a list of 47 members of the mayor's staff, department heads and deputy departments heads who were reappointed.

These 16 employees were reappointed to the mayor's office: Andre Willie Watson, Arnold Holzherr, Don Lupo (director of Office of Citizens Assistance), Eric Fancher, Griffin Lassiter (economic development), Irenio Johnson, Karen Wren, Kevin Owens, Natasha Rogers, Pamela Coulon, Preston Kirk, Robert Dellinger, Scotty Colson, Sybil Scarbrough and Toby Richards.

Bettye King

Cedric Roberts

Ed Fields, a senior advisor to Woodfin, said there are no interim department heads.

"However, the mayor has made it clear to his entire staff that the positions and performance of all mayoral appointees, including department heads and deputy department heads, will be assessed within the first 100 days of his administration," Fields said in an email.

Nearly three weeks ago, Woodfin announced that two city department heads were getting new positions on his executive leadership team - leaving those top spots open.

Cedric Sparks was named chief of staff. He had served as executive director of Birmingham's Department of Youth Services since 2002.

Kevin Moore was named chief operating officer. Moore has worked for the city of Birmingham for 22 years, most recently as director of the Birmingham Park and Recreation Department. He also previously served as the director of the Birmingham CrossPlex.

At the same time, Nicole King was named city attorney and head of the city's law department. She replaced Bell appointee Bob Jones. King previously worked as an attorney in the city law department.

At least one other city agency has hired a new leader since Woodfin's win in the runoff race with Bell on Oct. 3.

The Birmingham Public Library Board of Trustees hired Floyd Council as the new executive director of the library system on Oct. 16. He started in his post on Nov. 13.

Council previously served as the central library administrator for the Atlanta Fulton Public Library System.
