Jerod Timothy Promoted to Director of General Services

After nearly two decades serving the City of Grand Junction, Jerod Timothy has been named the director of General Services. General Services staff provide behind-the-scenes support that keeps daily government operations running smoothly, managing a wide range of critical functions, such as facilities maintenance, trash and recycling, fleet services, purchasing, and parking, to name a few. In many ways, General Services acts as the backbone of city government, maximizing efficiency, protecting public resources, and ensuring that taxpayer dollars are used responsibly to keep services running effectively.

"Jerod has dedicated over 19 years to the City and is known for driving improvements, streamlining operations, and delivering dependable service to both our organization and the community. His collaborative style and commitment to continuous improvement will serve the department and the organization well as we move forward," said Chief Financial Officer Jay Valentine.

The director position became available when Jay Valentine was promoted to chief financial officer earlier this year. Before his appointment as director, Timothy served as the City's deputy director of General Services.
