Riverview City Manager Douglas Drysdale has retired. His assistant, Jeffrey Dobek, has been promoted to interim city manager. The changes in the top two full-time appointed positions in the city took place after a late-August meeting between Drysdale and Mayor Andrew Swift. “I met with Doug on Friday morning,” Swift said. “We had a discussion and Doug decided it was time to retire. He said it’s time for him to pursue other avenues.” Drysdale was a city employee for nearly 20 years, first as finance director. He was appointed by the City Council to serve as city manager in 2013, succeeding

the general fund operations and making improvements to the city’s infrastructure.

my department heads, who I consider the best of the best. I’ve especially enjoyed working with Mayor Swift for most of my time as city manager; the love he has for the city is unparalleled and he is constantly looking for ways to promote the community to its residents and visitors. I’ve always been honored to work with other councilpersons who always had the best interests of the residents in their decisions. “I look forward to the future and my next endeavor. Hopefully, I’ll be able to remain in the Downriver area and assist other communities with their financial futures.” Swift said he would miss Drysdale and pointed to other achievements during his time
