Gene Palazzo

Gene Palazzo, former director for the South Lake Tahoe Redevelopment Agency, is now city manager of Galt.

Most recently he was city manager of Crescent City on the North Coast. He took that job in 2011.

He starts his job in the Central Valley on March 1 with a salary of $156,750. He’s in line for a 3 percent raise starting July 1.

The move will put Palazzo closer to his wife, Ellen, who is remains assistant city clerk in South Lake Tahoe.
