St. Augustine City Manager Bill Harriss, a 25-year employee of the city, announced Monday that he will retire this summer.
He will make a formal announcement to the City Commission at its April 26 regular meeting.
Harriss has been city manager since 1998.
His accomplishments include expanding the city’s water service, creating of a community redevelopment agency and replacement of aging city buildings such as the fleet maintenance facility, solid waste facility, main fire station, new financial services center and a rehabilitated Visitor Information Center, plus construction of a new downtown parking facility.
Previously to being named city manager, he was financial services director, general services director and assistant city manager under Joe Pomar.
He is a Florida native, graduate of the University of West Florida and a reserve deputy with the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office.
In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!
