Summary

Council administered the oath to Jesse Lytle as interim city manager and announced she will effectively take over at the April 6 council meeting while staff begin the recruitment for a permanent manager.

Mayor Williams administered the oath of office Monday to Jesse Lytle, who will serve as Riverside’s interim city manager. Lytle said she has spent her career in local government and listed prior roles in Centerville, Clayton and Washington Township; she told council her first official meeting without outgoing manager Josh will be April 6.

Council members welcomed Lytle and thanked outgoing City Manager Josh (mentioned by name during tributes) for his service to Riverside; several council members offered personal remarks of appreciation. Manager Josh acknowledged that this is his final regular council meeting and thanked staff and the community for their support during his tenure.

The interim appointment follows Josh’s announced move to Hilliard; council said staff and Lytle will work together during the transition and that council will begin recruiting a permanent city manager. Lytle said she looks forward to working with elected officials, employees and residents and invited questions from council.

The council’s procedural action at the meeting was to usher Lytle into the role and to note that April 6 will mark Lytle’s first regular meeting as interim manager.
