Police Chief Clint Peters named interim Columbia Falls city manager

A familiar face in city government will run the day-to-day operations of Columbia Falls – at least for a little while.

The Columbia Falls City Council last week appointed Police Chief Clint Peters as interim city manager beginning July 1. Peters will fill in as current City Manager Susan Nicosia will retire June 30 after a distinguished career with the city.

The city is currently undergoing its second search for a city manager after initial finalist Dennis Stark did not pass a background check to the Council’s satisfaction.
