The City of Merritt has parted ways with yet another member of its management team. Chief administrative officer Shawn Boven told the Herald that deputy financial services manager Ben Currie is no longer employed by the City of Merritt. The position has been vacant for about a week now. Boven said the city is currently in the process of searching for a financial services manager who will work under the director of finance. “It’s the exact same position that it was before, we’ve just called it financial services manager, which, coincidentally, is the old title of the director,” Boven said. Shawn Boven Since Boven — Chief Administrative Officer the city’s former public works manager — was named CAO last summer, the municipality has parted ways with four members of its management team, including two within last four months. “I’ve got a high standard for people that work here, and I expect a lot, and they just need to perform,” Boven said. He said that he’s been satisfied with all the new hires that have been made to the management staff. “The bar has been raised, and we’re doing everything we can to meet it,” Boven said.
