Bill Horne Death: It is with great sadness that the city announces the unexpected passing of our beloved City Manager Bill Horne. Our thoughts are with his wife and family during this difficult time. Mr. Horne led our city as city manager for more than two decades and was looking forward to his upcoming retirement.
As a retired U.S. Air Force colonel, he began his career with the city of Clearwater in 1998 as general support services administrator. The next year, he became assistant city manager. In July 2000, he was named interim city manager and then became city manager the following year.
