Lac La Biche County Council terminates Chief Administrative Officer

At the June 13, 2023 Regular Council Meeting, Lac La Biche County Council passed a motion to end the employment of Chief Administrative Officer Dan Small.

“Council believes that a leadership change is needed,” says Mayor Paul Reutov. “I would like to thank Mr. Small for his contributions, both as Chief Administrative Officer and as a long-serving municipal employee. We wish him the best in his future endeavours.”

County Council has appointed Melanie McConnell as Acting Chief Administrative Officer. All current County projects, programs, and services will continue to proceed as planned.

Small was named CAO in May 2022 after being in the interim role since January 2022.

Lac La Biche County has had three CAO’s since 2019.
