City Manager Lyle Lacy died Wednesday at his home, according to a news release from the city manager’s office Thursday morning.
“It is with great sadness that we notify you that City Manager Lyle M. Lacy, III passed away yesterday at his home,” the release stated.
His office announced in a news release Feb. 25 that he would be on extended medical leave through March 31. Lacy had intended to resign if he could not return to full service as city manager before then.
