GULF SHORES — By a unanimous vote Monday, 66-year-old Steve Garman, a former city manager in Pensacola and Decatur, Ill., was hired as the city's next administrator.
Garman said Tuesday that he will arrive in Gulf Shores today to begin looking for a place to live while he sells his home in central Illinois. He will report to City Hall on Oct. 1 and spend a month learning the ropes of his new job, taking over the day-to-day management of Gulf Shores when the next administration assumes office in early November, said Councilman and Mayor-elect Robert Craft.
"I'm very pleased the council asked me to join them," Garman said. "I'm excited to get started."
