Eric Olson steps down as City Administrator

Mayor Hayward announced today that Eric Olson has relinquished his role as City Administrator now that the fiscal year 2019 budget workshops are complete.

“Eric has helped lead this Administration – and the city – to new heights. I will miss Eric’s insight, unwavering discipline, and infectious enthusiasm for the hard work of municipal government. I am confident that he has laid a strong foundation that will allow our administration to complete the first mayoral transition under our new form of government,” said Mayor Hayward.

Assistant City Administrator Keith Wilkins will replace Olson as City Administrator through the end of Mayor Hayward’s term.
