Howell City Manager Erv Suida

After 27 years in Howell — four years as the current city manager after 23 years with the city’s department of public works, Erv Suida is retiring, effective Aug. 8, 2025.

“It has been an honor and a joy to serve this great city, but I didn’t do it alone. I am fortunate to be surrounded by an incredible team of public servants, all of whom believe in Howell and want the city to succeed,” Suida said in a release. “I am proud of the work we have accomplished together for this great community and I think it is the right time to pass the baton to the next city manager.”

Kristi Troy, current planning and zoning administrator and deputy city manager for Howell, will step in as interim city manager. The Howell City Council is expected to determine the selection process for the next city manager during the next three months.

“Erv’s impact on Howell extends far beyond bricks and mortar. His vision, integrity, and tireless dedication have left a lasting legacy that will continue to benefit our city for years to come,” said Mayor Bob Ellis in a statement. “On behalf of the City Council and the entire community, I want to thank Erv for his exemplary service and wish him all the best in his well-deserved retirement.”
