City Manager Bob Cumley notified the Springfield City Council on Tuesday that he intends to retire on June 1.
Cumley was promoted from his deputy position back in April of 2006. When he retires, he will have served as City manager for a little more than 2 years.
Cumley is widely respected among city management, and seems to be a very fine guy, but some might ask the question: Why was he promoted if he only planned on staying around 2 years? City leaders will say for transitional purposes. A follow-up might be, then why not keep him as deputy as you search for a new permanent manager? It's a fair question to ask when dealing with hefty salaries paid for with taxpayer dollars.
