The Boca Raton City Council has appointed Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer Jim Zervis as interim city manager. He will oversee the city’s day-to-day operations.
Zervis replaces former City Manager Mark Sohaney, who resigned earlier this month. The source report did not say how long Zervis will serve in the interim role or when the council expects to name a permanent replacement.
Zervis joined Boca Raton’s city government in 2024. Before moving to South Florida, he was chief administrative officer of Kern County, California, in Bakersfield.
The change puts a finance executive in charge of city government while the council decides on a longer-term leader, a move that matters to residents who depend on city services, budgets and development decisions.
