Ballot proposal could open door to Orchard Lake's first-ever city manager

ORCHARD LAKE — If a ballot proposal is approved by Orchard Lake voters Nov. 5, a first will occur in the city’s history.

The person who is primarily responsible for handling city operations in many cities has the title of “city manager,” but that has never been the case in Orchard Lake.

Instead, the director of city services position was created many years ago, according to Gerry McCallum, who currently serves in that role for Orchard Lake.

A ballot proposal on the general election ballot could lead to Orchard Lake aligning with many other cities, with the ballot language asking: “Shall the City of Orchard Lake Village be authorized to change the name and responsibilities of a Director of City Services to a City Manager authorizing duties and responsibilities per ordinance.”
