Summary
City Manager Matt Lasco made brief final remarks at his last council meeting, and council members delivered tributes thanking him for five years of service, citing transparency initiatives, the Osters relocation and infrastructure grant work.
City Manager Matt Lasco used the April 8 meeting to make brief farewell remarks and to thank staff and council as he prepares to leave the position.
"It's been an honor," Lasco said, noting it was his last meeting and thanking council, staff and the community. He highlighted accomplishments such as work on the seawall financing and broader redevelopment efforts and thanked colleagues for the opportunity to serve. Lasco said he was "not going far" but kept his remarks short.
Council members responded with extended tributes. Comments cited accomplishments including increased governmental transparency, expanded communications, the purchase and relocation process for Osters Mobile Home Park residents, outreach and grant successes, and building stronger staff capacity. Multiple council members expressed personal appreciation and best wishes.
Why it matters: The city manager is the chief administrative officer for the city; leadership changes prompt transition planning for ongoing capital projects, finance work and contractual renewals that staff said would continue during the transition.
Next steps: Council acknowledged ongoing work by staff and announced upcoming committee meeting dates. Staff will continue scheduled project and grant work while council and administration finalize transition steps.
