Since former City Manager Brian Donovan’s retirement in early 2019, Doug LaFave has served as interim City Manager in addition to his role as Public Works Director. A special thank you to Doug for taking on this immense responsibility and ensuring the City has run smoothly over the past nearly two years. His leadership, especially throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, has been beyond exceptional and helpful for both City staff and the EGR community as a whole.
