Haley resigns as Quincy city administrator

QUINCY — Quincy City Administrator Pat Haley announced his resignation, effective immediately, in a press release issued by the city Tuesday morning. Danielle Marchant, the city’s attorney, declined to specify the reason for Haley’s resignation. 

“As a matter of policy and out of respect for his privacy, the city will not be commenting on this matter,” Marchant said.  

There is no investigation into Haley’s administration of city business, Quincy Police Chief Ryan Green said.  

Greg Meinzer was appointed as interim administrator by Quincy Mayor Paul Worley, the press release said. Meinzer’s appointment will be effective March 1. 

Meinzer is a former interim police security supervisor for Confluence Health at Central Washington Hospital. He is a former Quincy Police chief, Marchant said.  

City officials will be conducting a search for a new city administrator  

“The city’s focus right now is on the future,” Marchant said.  

Haley was the executive director of the Quincy Valley Parks and Recreation District, approved by voters in the Quincy area in 2023. The district will operate the Quincy Aquatic Center, scheduled to open this summer, and the fieldhouse, known and the QPlex, scheduled for construction next year. Marchant said the district’s current rules require the executive director to be the Quincy city manager.
