Clewiston names Danny Williams as city manager; commission approves contract
Summary
The Clewiston City Commission unanimously approved Resolution 2024‑046 appointing Danny Williams as city manager and authorized the mayor to execute an employment agreement; commissioners encouraged Williams to pursue ICMA certification.
The Clewiston City Commission on July 15 unanimously approved Resolution 2024‑046 appointing Danny Williams as the city's new city manager and authorized the mayor to sign an employment agreement.
Commissioners said the appointment followed a month of discussions and noted Williams already has taken immediate steps to fill key municipal positions since serving in an interim capacity. Council members encouraged him to pursue ICMA certification as part of professional development. The motion to accept the agreement was seconded by Commissioner Gardner and carried without recorded opposition; applause followed.
The commission discussed including an annual performance review provision in the employment agreement, language commissioners said is common and useful for accountability. The mayor asked Williams to begin outreach and the administration to finalize contract logistics.
Next steps: the mayor will execute the agreement on behalf of the city and staff will proceed with onboarding steps and any required notifications.
