It didn’t take long for the city council to name a replacement for Prescott City Manager Michael Lamar after he submitted his letter of resignation last month. 

In its first meeting of the year, the city council voted unanimously tuesday to name Deputy City Manager Tyler G oodman Interim City Manager effective immediately.  Goodman has worked for the city since 2016 and was named deputy city manager in January of 2022.

During the interim period, which ends on February 14th, the city manager will work with the interim city manager to ensure a smooth transition while the city searches for a replacement.

As they did to fill the city attorney position in 2022, the City of Prescott will use executive search firm Columbia LTD to conduct and manage the nationwide search for a new city manager. The mayor and city council will meet with Columbia LTD on January 9th to discuss the recruitment process.
