Atlanta mayor's task force recommends changes to inspector general's operations
Atlanta OIG meets recommendations with friction
The City of Atlanta’s Inspector General Shannon Manigault claims recommendations by the mayor’s task force would make her job less effective.
ATLANTA – It has been no secret that the Atlanta mayor’s office and the inspector general (IG) do not always see eye-to-eye.
Now, that riff may be widening.
The Office of Inspector General (OIG) was created in 2020 after a federal probe into corruption at Atlanta’s City Hall led to several people going to prison.
Atlanta shaken by new ‘pay to play’ scandal involving city officials: report
Many city employees, and even the mayor’s office, have complained about IG Shannon Manigault’s tactics and procedures. That is why the mayor created a temporary task force to take a closer look at her office.
Some residents do not like the task force’s recommendations to the city council.
“NPU-N voted unanimously to authorize me to communicate with council our strong support for the office of the Inspector General and our absolute objection to recent efforts by the Dickens administration to defame our watchdog. I urge you to vote against resolution 24.R4518,” NPU-N chair Amy Stout told the council.
The task force’s recommendations are numerous. To name just a few, they have suggested the OIG have its own board, separate from the Ethics Office, to report to.
The recommendations also clarify that the IG must notify an employee if they are a target of an investigation and the employee is allowed to have counsel present during an interview.
The task force also recommends that an investigation can be initiated only if clear justification can be defined, not suspicion.
Inspector General Manigault did not mince words.
“The approval of the recommendation to have the city attorney craft legislation and policies and procedures pursuant to the findings of the body. All of these things are serious. The short of it is, many of these recommendations, if implemented, would render this office, Office of Inspector General, in name only,” said Inspector General Manigault.
Task force member and Atlanta City Councilman Howard Shook said a lot of work went into the recommendations.
“She sees that as her needing the most authority she can possibly have to do the best job she can do, but we found no model where the Inspector General operates entirely independently of anybody or anything,” Shook explained.
The council held the measure on Monday. The recommendations are expected to be revisited again in two weeks.

The FIFA World Cup is set to kick off in Atlanta in 10 days.
Nine teams will play group-stage matches at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, but the U.S. men’s national team is not one of them. The USMNT’s group stage takes place in Los Angeles and Seattle, but that doesn’t mean Atlanta has no chance of seeing the national team in person.
