Royal Oak Selects Interim City Manager: Report

The new interim city manager is already acting as the city attorney.

ROYAL OAK, MI — David Gillam, Royal Oak's city attorney, has been approved for a second job as the city's interim city manager, according to a report.

The Royal Oak Tribune reported Monday that Gillam was unanimously approved to a six-month appointment position as manager while officials search for a new permanent city manager.

Gillam will continue a supervisory role in the city attorney's office, but the city will have to pay other attorneys to take on some of the work he's leaving behind, the report says.
