Ridgefield Deputy City Manager Lee Knottnerus will retire Sept. 15 after 14 years with the city.
Knottnerus, who has served as deputy city manager and HR/Administrative Department director since 2012, has been involved in several community initiatives, including the Ridgefield Main Street Program, First Saturdays, Big Paddle and the Multicultural Festival, according to a City of Ridgefield news release.
“Under Lee’s leadership and care, the City’s population and organization have grown and thrived,” City Manager Steve Stuart said in the release. “While most of her amazing work is behind the scenes, the positive impacts she’s created are felt throughout our community.”
The city launched a search for Knottnerus’ replacement Aug. 21 and plans to interview candidates during the first two weeks of October. More information is available at shorturl.at/6QIPf.
