Lisauskas serves as Vice President of Government Affairs with WasteZero.
Before taking up his current responsibilities, Stephen Lisauskas spent
several years in municipal government, serving as deputy town administrator
with the Town of Natick, Massachusetts.
Within a municipal government, the city manager plays an important role in
ensuring smooth operations and workflow. Sometimes known as a city
administrator or city manager, the municipal manager is typically appointed
by the city council or town board overseeing municipal affairs in the city.
While municipal managers serve at the pleasure of the town board, they also
have a responsibility to serve the municipality’s residents.
Responsibilities of a municipal manager vary widely from town to town.
Larger cities often require a manager to oversee complex government
structures with many employees, while smaller rural towns may only need an
accountant and administrator to monitor financial affairs. Municipal
managers often develop budgets for the municipal government and oversee
expenditures, effectively fulfilling the duties of a treasurer. Other
responsibilities of municipal managers include hiring and terminating
employees, representing the professional staff at public meetings and
conducting union negotiations.
