Iowa City council members selected Michael Lombardo, former County Administrator of Allegan County, Michigan with 10 years city management experience as City Manager. He will be paid $160,000 plus benefits tp manager the city's departments.
He was the unanimous choice among the City council members.
Former employers said about Lombardo: "I think by and large everyone seems to be pleased," Board Chairman Jon Campbell said. "He has some good experience, yet he's still young enough that I believe he has a lot to offer." "He has an enthusiastic personality -- very articulate, extremely neat and well-organized," he said. Bill Sikkel of Laketown Township said, "He will provide, in my judgment, a (fresh) approach ... a willingness to think outside the box."
Hopefully that type of thinking will be of benefit to Iowa Citians.
