Beloved longtime City Manager George Chavez was feted with a sense of fun and sentimental speeches at a retirement party held in his honor at Beverly Hills City Hall on Tuesday night. The elegantly decorated event, which was hosted by the city and free to the public, was attended by Mayor Lili Bosse, who also served as MC, as well as former Beverly Hills mayors; city councilmembers, officials, and staff; members of the Beverly Hills Police Department; residents; and Chavez’s friends and family, who filled the Municipal Gallery to capacity.
Although an outdoor reception area was available, guests chose to stay inside due to the chilly weather, enjoy specialties catered by Il Pastaio’s Giacomino Drago, and take photos and reminisce with Chavez, who is retiring after serving the Beverly Hills community for 34 years.
