Casselberry ratifies Martin Butcher as interim public works director; manager credits departing director with $17.2M grant
Summary
The commission ratified Martin Butcher as interim public works director effective Jan. 16 after the announced departure of Public Works Director Kelly Brock. City manager credited Brock with securing a $17.2 million grant for safety improvements along South 436.
The Casselberry City Commission ratified Martin Butcher as interim public works director effective Jan. 16 during its Jan. 12 meeting after the manager announced the separation of longtime director Kelly Brock, effective Jan. 15.
City manager described Brock’s nearly 20 years of service and his role in winning grants and leading major public‑works projects. The manager also announced that the city was awarded a $17.2 million grant to make safety improvements on South State Road 436 from Oxford Road to the county line, a project staff said was enabled in part by earlier planning and grant work led by Brock.
Commissioners moved to ratify the interim appointment and voted in favor by voice vote. Several commissioners thanked Brock for his service and welcomed Butcher, a city manager and special projects manager with about eight years at the city, to the interim role.
What happens next: Martin Butcher will serve as interim public works director while the city completes a recruitment for a permanent director; staff will continue planned projects and implement the S‑436 grant work as described.
