The City of Charlottesville has posted an opening for Deputy City Manager for Operations just over a week after Lionel Lyons began work in the position.
“This position performs complex professional and administrative work in assisting the City Manager in a variety of assignments,” reads the summary for the position on governmentjobs.com.
On February 5, City Manager Sam Sanders had expressed how glad he was to have a full management team in place.
Afton Schneider, the city’s Director of Communications and Public Engagement, said Lyons had a family emergency and could not return to work.
As I reported on January 19, Lyons served in Petersburg for four years until 2021 and before that he was a senior executive assistant to the city manager of Phoenix, Arizona. He’s been a finalist for positions in Beaumont, Texas and Missouri City, Texas.
The salary range is between $175,011.20 and $205,171.20 a year.
Two other high-profile positions are also open, including a listing for the City Engineer posted on February 9. Jack Dawson has been in that position since January 2019. The salary range is between $98,550.40 and $123,448 a year.
Another top departure is Susan Moffett as director of social services. An open position was listed today and puts the job’s salary at between $120,744 and $161,699.20.
