Julie Alt is leaving her position as the City of St. Joseph Emergency Manager.

Alt said she is resigning due to health concerns.

“I’m moving back to Liberty to be near family,” she said. “I have a few health issues right now so I decided to step back and take a little bit of time off.”

Alt took over as the Emergency Manager in 2015 after George Albert retired. Her last day is Friday.  St. Joseph Fire Department Chief Mike Dalsing will act at Interim Emergency Manager until a replacement is hired.
