Nyssa - The Nyssa City Council appointed Roberta Donovan as city manager Tuesday night during a short meeting.

Donovan will replace former, long-time city manager Bill Ewing. The City Council terminated Ewing’s employment at its August meeting.

Because Ewing was on medical leave, Donovan was appointed as interim city manager in April and had been serving in that position since June 1. The resolution, adopted Tuesday unanimously by the council, noted that a vacancy in the position had been declared Aug. 14 along with the council’s intent to appoint a new city manager, and four weeks had elapsed, as required by city code, to allow an appointment. The resolution also said that Donovan had already been serving as interim city manager and is willing and able to fill the position. Donovan was out of town on city business and was not in attendance at the City Council meeting.

Prior to coming to work for Nyssa, Donovan worked as executive director for Project Dove and continues to serve on its board.

Prior to moving to the local area, she was city manager at Lakeview, and has a total of 12 years of city government experience.

" Your account of Richard Barlow's ordeal is appreciated. Whistleblowers also include people, like myself, that worked for those that were foreign nationals and by trusting U. S. government employees, brought disaster to themselves. Meanwhile, the Department of Defense made demands on foreign governments to stop proliferators. Thanks to Adrian Levy's recent book, I heard about Richard Barlow and I heard about the lying to Congress. Now I understand why my life was trashed. Perhaps someday my son will forgive me. "
