Eugene City Manager Sarah Medary announced Tuesday that she will retire from her position at the end of this year.
In a letter to Eugene staff, Medary said serving the community and the staff has been an honor and a joy.
"While I’m filled with pride and joy for an amazing career, my heart is also filled with grief as I consider leaving the best team ever," she said.
She also said it was important to give the City Council time to have a thoughtful and planned transition, which is why she's giving so much notice.
Medary has served as the City Manager since 2019. Her December retirement will coincide with her 30th anniversary with the city.
