    In our continuing news series looking back at the career of long-time Manhattan City Manager Ron Fehr, we hear from some of the city commissioners and others who worked alongside him.
    Bruce Snead came on the commission in 1995, serving until 2011 and recalls his first meeting with Fehr.

    A few years later, in 2000, Snead and the commission hired Fehr into the city manager role, a position he’s held ever since.

    State Sen. and former commissioner Usha Reddi worked with Fehr for a decade and recalls a strong listener who always had his thumb on the pulse of Manhattan.

    During his 24 years as city manager Fehr has worked under 23 different city commissioners. That doesn’t include his bosses prior to becoming the city’s top administrator. Reddi says Fehr has always been able to adapt to the constantly changing political dynamic at City Hall.

    Coming up Wednesday on KMAN, we’ll hear from some of Fehr’s colleagues within the city and other agencies.

    A public retirement reception will take place at 3 p.m. Thursday at City Hall.
