The City of Farmington announces the retirement of Department of Public Works (DPW) Superintendent Chuck Eudy, who has served the DPW for 31 years.

The scope of work for the Farmington DPW is seemingly endless. They provide oversight for the maintenance of the Governor Warner Mansion, assist the City Clerk’s office with the setup of election equipment, as well as going out in subzero temperatures to make infrastructure repairs for the city, and are always there to help haul event supplies to Riley Park.

Chuck has had the opportunity to oversee projects that transformed the City of Farmington into the vibrant community you see today. He helped manage the building of Riley Park and the Sundquist Pavilion - which now includes Riley Park Ice Rink, both the Farmington Road and Grand River Streetscapes, Flanders Park, as well as countless commercial developments including Fresh Thyme and Hillside Townes. He led the effort to put pickleball courts into Shiawassee Park and is an expert when it comes to water, sewer, and “aggressive soil.”

Public parking lots, landscaping, and snowplowing aside, Chuck supported the community spirit aspect of Farmington. He made sure the DPW always had time for the library’s Truck-a-Palooza program and for first grade visits to City Hall. He dressed up as dead Governor Warner and participated in Ghost Night at the Governor Warner Mansion, he volunteered at the Farmers Market to keep residents informed about the millage, and he was a good friend to many.

"Chuck has been an invaluable asset to the City of Farmington for over three decades," said City Manager David Murphy. "He is a solution-oriented, thoughtful leader with a tremendous work ethic who truly cares about his department and our community. His contributions have been instrumental in maintaining our city's infrastructure and public spaces, and we wish him all the best in his retirement."
