Doug Baaki has been appointed as the new city manager of South Lyon after serving as interim since December, following the retirement of Paul Zelenak. The city council's unanimous decision comes as Baaki, a retired police chief, aims to lead for the next 7 to 10 years, coinciding with an upcoming $11.5 million reconstruction project on Pontiac Trail. Mayor Steve Kennedy highlighted Baaki's familiarity with the city, which has facilitated his transition into the role.
