Guillory named EBR interim DPW director

City-parish Chief Operations Engineer David Guillory has been named interim director of the Department of Public Works, replacing William Daniel, who was named chief administrative officer by Mayor Kip Holden. In late July, Daniel was named interim CAO following the departure of John Carpenter, who left to “pursue other interests,” effective Aug. 3. Guillory will now serve in the interim position until a current reorganization of the department is complete, at which time a search will be conducted to fill the position permanently. Guillory has been with the department since 2003. “David has been a key team member on our largest DPW projects and has earned the respect of the engineers and contractors that we interface with on a daily basis,” says Holden in a news release. “In his current position, he has been very involved in the reorganization plan that is being developed, and we feel he is a solid choice to serve as Interim Director.”
