Quesnel- City Council has named  Jack Marsh interim City Manager.

 

“Jack has been with the City for more than 35 years; he knows the City, our staff, the challenges we face and the opportunities we can take advantage of,” said Mayor Mary Sjostrom. “I know he’ll do a great job for us as we go through the transition period.”

 

Marsh replaces current City Manager Byron Johnson, who has accepted an offer to become the Chief Administrative Officer with the province’s newest municipality, Sun Peaks Mountain Resort Municipality.

 

Long-time Deputy Works Superintendant Ken Coombs will be the acting director of public works while Marsh is the interim city manager. Coombs has been with the City since 1991 and regularly fills in as public works director during vacations.

The City is in the process of recruiting a new city manager, and plans to have a replacement in place early in 2011.
