The City of Steamboat Springs’ Public Works Director, Charles (Chuck) V. Anderson, has accepted a new position as Deputy City Manager with the City of Great Falls, Montana.
“On behalf of everyone at the city, we are excited for Chuck and his family for this new opportunity with the City of Great Falls,” said City Manager Gary Suiter. “We will miss Chuck’s leadership and can’t thank him enough for all his contributions to the city and the Steamboat Springs community over the past four and a half years. He will definitely be missed.”
Anderson joined the City of Steamboat Springs as Public Works Director in July 2012. As director, he oversaw one of the city’s largest departments including Airport, Transit, Engineering, Water, Wastewater, Streets and Fleet as well as served as City Manager Pro-Tem on several occasions. Prior to joining the City of Steamboat Springs, he served over 27 years in the United States Air Force before ending his military career as Command Chief of the 341st Missile Wing at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana in 2012.
“My four and a half years with the City and in Steamboat Springs have been phenomenal and were truly a learning experience, both personally and professionally,” said Anderson. “While Steamboat will always hold a special place in my heart, an opportunity such as this is the right thing for my family and one I simply couldn’t pass up.”
Anderson will continue with the City of Steamboat Springs through the end of January, 2017. The search for his replacement will begin after the holidays.
“During my tenure, it has been a privilege to work with the best public works team in the state,” continued Anderson. “I know Steamboat Springs will be in good hands during this transition and as it heads into the future.”
