“I believed this role would provide me with the chance to engage and understand the operations of a complete city government,” said Dura.
The city engineer is responsible for managing engineering, traffic, and right-of-way projects.
This role serves as the primary technical authority for the city’s engineering and infrastructure projects and reports directly to the city manager.
Dura will take over from Bob Stanley, who is retiring after nearly 29 years.
He began his role as city engineer on April 13th.
