Utah official named to replace El Segundo City Manager Jack Wayt – The Daily Breeze

El Segundo officials have selected a Utah county administrator to take over for City Manager Jack Wayt, who will leave his post at the end of the month.

Doug Willmore, chief administrative officer of Salt Lake County, won the job Tuesday night with a unanimous vote by the City Council. His first day in City Hall will be April 18.

“It’s a big change, coming to El Segundo. Really, I look at it as a whole new set of challenges,” Willmore, 50, said before the meeting.

The council set his annual base salary at $218,000. He also will receive $14,400 in additional compensation that can be applied toward health insurance, and $62,000 in benefits, city staff members said.

In Salt Lake County, where Willmore has worked for a little more than six years, he manages 4,000 employees and oversees a $650 million budget. El Segundo, in comparison, employs a little more than 300 workers and has a general fund budget totaling roughly $56 million.
