Karen Jarrett, City Engineer

Karen Jarrett has resigned as City Engineer after she accepted a similar position with another City. We wish Karen well and appreciate her substantial contributions to Lakeland. She will be missed both professionally and personally.

Karen is the first full-time City Engineer for the City of Lakeland. She established procedures and standards for engineering and development that provide a high standard for development in Lakeland, benefiting both current and future residents. I think she found talents in herself she didn’t realized she had as she grew professionally in her position at Lakeland.

Karen is moving to another position, but her time at Lakeland will continue to benefit Lakeland. She will be missed.

The City is currently interviewing applicants for City Engineer and expects to offer the position to an applicant for City Engineer in the near future. Of course, the time will depend on the applicants and whether the applicant accepts the offer. Applications are being accepted until the position is filled.
