Rockville has a new City Manager. Jeffrey J. Mihelich was unanimously appointed to the position Monday night by a unanimous vote of the Mayor and Council. Mihelich will officially start work on Monday, July 15, 2024, after four years as City Manager of Bozeman, Montana. He should be well-prepared for the City of Rockville, as Bozeman has experienced booming growth since 2020, forcing officials there to scramble to upgrade infrastructure and find a way to fund those projects. The pace of construction and growth in Rockville will seem leisurely in comparison.
City Councilmember Adam Van Grack reports that a series of open houses and other events will be scheduled to provide a chance for residents to meet Mihelich, and engage with him on their issues and concerns. Mihelich replaces Robert DiSpirito, who is now City Manager of Takoma Park, after a national candidate search. Acting City Manager Barack Matite will continue in the position until July 15.

I don't think Bozeman Montana has the same problems we have in Rockville,Bozeman seems like a much better city, but he definitely seems like a good choice for manager.
ReplyDeleteAnd your decision is based on looks I take it.
DeleteIdk what makes you think Bozeman is a better city. Bozeman is basically a college town and the anchor of its metropolitan area. very different cities, industries, and wealth (Rockville is much wealthier, people in Bozeman are much more of the outdoor kind)
DeleteLess crime, less crazy people. Just seems like common sense, it's in a beautiful area.

DeleteBozeman and Rockville have about the same size population. Reports are indicating that crime in Bozeman has decreased whereas Crime in Montgomery County is increasing,which means crime is probably increasing in Rockville.
DeleteI survived the 2024 Gaithersburg Tornado, so far.
