“Evan has municipal experience and wisdom beyond his years,” says Mayor Stan Mills, “and his appointment as interim city manager was unanimously supported by commissioners as he has been working alongside and been mentored by Sharon for five years now. I am committed to a smooth transition with Sharon’s departure, and I am very confident that Evan will provide that for the city. He has the skillset needed, he works diligently with every department, and he has the respect of his fellow staffers. I look forward to working with Evan until a permanent replacement is hired.”
