Beverly Hills City Manager Nancy Hunt-Coffey will retire in June 2026, after 35 years of public service. She was appointed as the first female City Manager of Beverly Hills in 2023 after serving as Assistant City Manager since 2019. Hunt-Coffey was first hired by the city in 2008 as Assistant Director of Community Services. She later became Director of Community Services, a position in which she led the Recreation and Parks, Library, Human Services and Administrative Support divisions.
In a statement released on May 15, Hunt-Coffey said, “I would like to thank the Mayor, City Council, our devoted city staff and this incredible community for allowing me the privilege to serve for all these years. It’s been an honor to represent you, and I will always cherish my time in Beverly Hills.”
“As the first female City Manager in the history of Beverly Hills, Nancy leaves a legacy of respected leadership, superior institutional knowledge and humility,” said Beverly Hills Mayor Sharona Nazarian. “On behalf of the City Council and our entire community, we thank Nancy for her tireless dedication to making Beverly Hills a better place and wish her and her family the very best in the years ahead.”
“Watching Nancy ascend to the highest levels of leadership within our organization has been a pleasure to witness,” added Nazarian.
The City Council will discuss the selection of a new City Manager at a future meeting.
