Lombardo City Council Unanimous Choice

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.
