Buckeye city manager Dan Cotterman has named Javier Setovich, P.E. as deputy city manager. Setovich replaces Interim deputy city manager Larry Hall, who has returned to his previous position as Buckeye Police chief.
Setovich has more than 30 years of experience in municipal government where he oversaw the operations and the delivery of capital projects for public works, water, wastewater, sanitation, fleet, facilities and other disciplines requiring regulatory compliance.
Most recently, he was the public works Director for the city of Goodyear.
“This is a great opportunity to be part of one of the fastest growing cities in the country,” said Setovich. “The new leadership and energy in Buckeye is being noticed throughout the Valley, and I look forward to contributing to the city’s future.”
Setovich has a bachelor of science in Marine Engineering Technology from California Maritime Academy, a master's in business administration from the University of Phoenix, and is a registered professional engineer in Arizona. His first day with Buckeye is Nov. 7 with an annual salary of $215,250.
The Buckeye City Council and city management thank Larry Hall for the great work he accomplished while Interim Deputy City Manager and look forward to his return as Buckeye Police Chief.
