Crestview City Manager Tim Bolduc

City Manager Tim Bolduc announced his resignation Tuesday after six years of service to the City of Crestview, setting his departure date for April 30, 2025. Bolduc is also the city’s first ever City Manager.

  • In his resignation letter to the mayor and city council, Bolduc wrote that the role of city manager “should not be permanent but should instead be one of stewardship to improve the community and to establish a firm foundation for the next leader.”

Bolduc outlined a transition plan centered on three key long-term strategies: a roadmap for sustainable growth, a comprehensive facility renewal and replacement strategy, and a vision for expanded recreational amenities through a new sports complex strategy.

  • “Coming to Crestview has been the greatest honor of my professional career,” Bolduc wrote, highlighting achievements in employee culture, financial stability, and improved community perception during his tenure.

The outgoing city manager will work with the Deputy City Manager and city staff to ensure continuity of ongoing projects and establish initial budget strategies for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. His plan includes maintaining relationships with external agencies and stakeholders to preserve the city’s momentum.

In his letter, Bolduc praised the mayor as “one of the most remarkable men I have had the pleasure of getting to know” and commended the city council members as “the most honorable, caring and committed” he had worked with over his six years.

Under Bolduc’s leadership, the city implemented the motto “One City, One Mission” and transitioned to a manager form of government. His administration focused on “Improving the Quality of Life by Providing Exceptional Municipal Services,” according to the letter.

“Choosing The View was one of the best decisions of my life,” Bolduc said, referring to his time in Crestview.

The city has not yet announced plans for selecting Bolduc’s successor.
