Port Moody will have a familiar face back at city hall next month to replace the chief administrative officer.

Tim Savoie, the city's former general manager of development services, will leave his current job as TransLink vice president to take over the top municipal job from Kevin Ramsay, who was hired in 2012 and retires June 29.

A registered professional planner, Savoie has his master's degree in urban physical planning and real estate development from UBC as well as a bachelor's degree in geography from SFU.

He serves as the vice chair of the BC Regional Committee of the Canadian Urban Transit Association and is a board member on the Transportation Association of Canada.

As city manager, Savoie will see the introduction of the rapid transit Evergreen Line through Port Moody next year and will guide growth around its stations and along the city's western waterfront.

Savoie starts July 25.
