A2: Sue McCormick

By

Sue McCormick, one of the city of Ann Arbor’s top administrators, is being hired as director of Detroit’s water and sewerage department. Her selection by Detroit mayor David Bing was announced at the Nov. 9 meeting of the board of water commissioners, which is expected to vote on her appointment at its Nov. 30 meeting.

The news was conveyed to the Ann Arbor city council Thursday afternoon via an email from city administrator Steve Powers, who forwarded councilmembers a link to the Digesting the Detroit Water Department blog. There was no mention of the announcement at the council’s meeting that evening.

McCormick first came on board the city of Ann Arbor as water utilities director in 2001. Before that she had worked 22 years for the Lansing Board of Water and Light. McCormick currently serves the city of Ann Arbor as public services area administrator. [Source]
