Mayor Spencer appoints interim director of St. Louis streets
ST. LOUIS, Mo. (First Alert 4) - St. Louis Mayor Cara Spencer has appointed an interim director of streets.
Jim Suelmann was named the interim director after the resignation of Betherny Williams was effective on Wednesday.
Suelmann previously served as director of streets from 1985 until his retirement in 2006. During his prior tenure, the Street Department expanded its paving program, changed the snow removal policy, and improved refuse processing.
“Jim Suelmann was trusted by St. Louis mayors for 21 years to provide vital city services to our residents. With his exceptional experience and leadership returning to the Street Department, we can begin to improve how we deliver these city services right away,” said Mayor Spencer. “I am incredibly grateful to Jim for stepping up for the City in this way, giving us time to conduct a thorough search for a permanent director of streets.”
Suelmann will become the interim director on Monday.
