Town Manager

The Town Manager is the chief executive officer for the Town of Edgewood, appointed by Edgewood’s Governing Body. Under the delegated authority of the Commission, the Town Manager implements policies adopted by the Governing Body, oversees daily operations and strategic planning, and maintains a focus on public policy, community engagement, and fiscal management.

The Town Manager provides day-to-day oversight for all town staff and ensures efficient, effective operations for optimal service to the community.

Kelly Hamilton, Town Manager

Mr. Hamilton brings more than three decades of leadership experience in public administration, law enforcement, emergency management, and higher education. Born and raised in a ranching community in northern Wyoming — an area much like Edgewood, where the mountains meet the plains — he brings a deep appreciation for rural values, community connection, and practical, service-oriented leadership.

He holds a Doctorate in Management and a Master of Public Administration and has worked extensively with local, state, tribal, and federal partners to strengthen organizational performance, fiscal accountability, and public transparency.

As Town Manager, he is committed to building strong relationships with the Commission, staff, and community, modernizing municipal operations, and ensuring Edgewood remains a safe, well-governed, and forward-looking community for residents and businesses alike.
