Value of Adding an Assistant City Administrator Position Adding a new position, specifically an assistant city administrator, adds tremendous value to the city. This position has allowed staff to assign dedicated resources to the city's Economic Development Authority (EDA), and strengthen relationships with partner agencies. This new position also provides added support on high priority projects and initiatives. Further, adding an experienced and knowledgeable local management professional to the Centerville team adds another layer of professionalism to the organization, which falls in line with our organizational resilience and succession planning goals.
