The Los Alamos County Council in New Mexico plans to honor retiring County Manager Steve Lynne during its regular Tuesday night meeting.
Lynne will retire the following day, March 1, after working for Los Alamos County over 28 years according to a notice on the municipal board’s website. Lynne was deputy county manager in July 2021 when he was elevated to the manager post following retirement of the prior manager, Harry Burgess.
“County councilors want to formally recognize his service and thank him for his dedication to the community,” according to a notice honoring Lynne in the agenda for the Tuesday Feb. 27 meeting.
During a December meeting, the council unanimously voted to promote deputy manager Anne Laurent to succeed Lynne. Laurant was picked from a pool of about 30 applicants.
Los Alamos county is home to the Department of Energy’s Los Alamos National Laboratory.
