“I am grateful to Mayor Diane Whalen and Florence City Council for the trust they have placed in me over the years to serve in the many capacities that I have, Lunnemann said. “It has been an honor to serve with the most talented and professional leadership team and employees from all our departments. Their support, combined with their dedication to providing top quality services every day, has made Florence an excellent place to live and work. My career in local government and, in particular the City of Florence, has been a blessing. I feel fortunate to have been a small part of this organization.”
Lunnemann has worn many hats while working for the City of Florence. He was the Assistant City Coordinator/Community Development Director and worked in the Public Services Department serving as the Operations Superintendent and Code Administrator for Florence prior to moving to the Administrative Department.

Mayor Whalen commented, “Rick has dedicated his professional life to making Florence the wonderful place that it is. He has been involved in all facets of city government and truly knows what makes this community tick. The community we have become is a direct reflection of the hard work Rick and all of our employees and elected officials do every day. I wish him a long, happy and healthy retirement.”
