The City of Monmouth has hired a new City Administrator. At the June 6th meeting, the Monmouth City Council officially entered into an employment agreement with Lou Leone, informs retiring City Administrator Lew Steinbrecher:
“Lou has a bachelor’s degree in business administration and a master’s degree in public administration. He has worked for four similar-sized cities in Kansas, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Illinois. He will be, obviously, replacing me as I retire after nine plus years with the City. It has been a pleasure to have this opportunity and what a great way for me to end a professional career that has been so kind to me over the years. I will have fond memories of my time here in Monmouth,” says Steinbrecher.
“I think Lou is a good fit for the community and looking forward to transitioning the job over to him,” Steinbrecher adds.
What originally began as a six-month employment agreement, Monmouth Mayor Rod Davies is grateful for Steinbrecher’s nine years of service to the Monmouth community:
“I’ve been around and worked with a number of administrators and there wasn’t one finer than Lew Steinbrecher. He really made an impact on this community and is responsible for a lot of the economic development and new development that we have had. He certainly helped me and helped all of our staff. I can’t say enough good things about him. He has been just a great addition to the community, and we are much better thanks to his service here,” Mayor Davies shares.
Leone will begin his employment as Monmouth’s City Administrator on Friday, July 10th.
