According to a press release from the City of Brookings Thursday, July 14th, the Brookings City Council has appointed Gary Milliman as City Manager Pro Tem.
Milliman will serve in the temporary assignment during the absence of City Manager Janell Howard, who is on leave.
Milliman served as Brookings City Manager from 2007 until retirement in 2018. At that time the City Council designated him as a City Manager Emeritus, and Milliman currently serves as Brookings Municiple Court Judge.
City officials are not commenting on the circumstances relating to the leave at this time. Mayor Ron Hedenskog said that the duration of the leave is uncertain, which is why Milliman was asked to serve as Pro Tem.
