SELAH, Wash. — Selah city administrator David Kelly has accepted a job in Arizona and will be leaving his current post in early December, the city announced in a news release today.
Selah hired Kelly in May 2012 as the city’s first permanent city administrator since Frank Sweet was pushed out earlier that year over what was called a difference in management style at the time between he and new Mayor John Gawlik.
Kelly came into the office charged with correcting the city’s finances after a number of financial missteps by the previous administration put the city in debt. Kelly was also hired not long after the city discovered a number of public documents had been destroyed by Sweet, who was later convicted on charges related to the destruction of public property.
