Roy seeking to hire its 5th city manager since August 2014

OGDEN, Utah (AP) - The city of Roy will be looking for a new city manager.

The Standard-Examiner reports that Jason Poulsen plans to step down and return to the Roy Fire Department on Jan. 1 after a little more than a year as Roy’s city manager.

Poulsen says he’s taking the fire captain’s post with an eye to his long-term future.

He’s worked more than 18 years in varied firefighting capacities in Utah and if he gets in another 18 months to hit the 20-year mark, he qualifies for a Tier 1 pension as a public safety employee in the state.

Roy will be seeking its fifth city manager since August 2014 when Chris Davis resigned after about 13 years in the job.
