In a special council session held Monday evening, April 23rd 2018, the council approved the appointment of long time Lamar resident David “Russ” Worsley as the next City Administrator. Russ is a graduate of Southwest Missouri State University where he obtained a degree in Industrial Management Technology and has a long record of success in his business ventures. Currently Russ serves as the Executive Vice President and Partner of Redneck Outdoor Products.

Russ, was appointed to fill the position which was vacated March 15th, 2018, when Lynn Calton retired after a 27-year tenure.
The City is excited to see what new and innovated processes Russ will bring to the position to help move Lamar forward.
