History
Although the city of Windsor had the power to appoint a City Manager is 1929, it did not do so until 1958. The roots of this office can be found in the Board of Control. Established in 1937, the Board was an elected body of four controllers who were responsible for the operation of the municipality. By 1958, this Board was replaced by the City Manager form of government, and E. Royden Coulter was appointed to this position. John Steel replaced Coulter in 1969 and continued as City Manager until 1976. In that year, the title was changed to City Administrator and Hilary Payne, who had been acting City Manager, succeeded Steel and held this position until 1994. C.W. (Chuck) Wills replaced Payne in December of that year and the title was changed to Chief Administrative Officer, a position Wills holds to the present.
