Iris Lee has been serving as acting director of the Public Works Department since May 2022.
In a May 24 email, City Manager Jill Ingram wrote that “as with any other department director, or the city manager for that matter, when one of us is out of the office due to personal illness, vacation, family leave, bereavement, training, etc., an acting director is appointed during their absence. In that regard, Iris Lee, Deputy Director of Public Works, is currently serving as Acting Director of Public Works in Director Myrter’s absence until he returns to the office.”
The city announced it had hired Myrter in January 2017.
Before that, the interim director of Public Works was Community Development Director Jim Basham, who was basically working double duty. Myrter officially took over the Public Works directorship on Jan. 30, 2017.
Basham and Myrter succeeded Sean Crumby, who was hired by the city of Long Beach in September in 2015.
