After nearly a quarter-century with the City of Kamloops and more than a decade at the helm of operations as chief administrative officer, Randy Diehl is retiring. The longtime city bureaucrat, who made the announcement at the beginning of the city council meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 10, will officially step down on May 1. Diehl said he wanted to retire last year, but was urged by Mayor Peter Milobar to stay on for one more year to help council through budget deliberations. "I wish to say that the decision to leave at this point is entirely mine," he said, Diehl noted several achievements, including improving the quality of life in Kamloops by developing the Rivers Trail and Kenna Cartwright Park, noting the 1993 Canada Summer Games marked a major shift in community pride. Milobar thanked Diehl for his service on behalf of the city and council. Diehl worked for the city for 23 years total including 12 years as the CAO. As for what comes after May 1, Diehl said he simply wants to spend more time with his family and, perhaps, lower his golf handicap.
