Matt Justice is officially Signal Mountain’s new town manager.

After finalizing a separation agreement with former Town Manager Matt Trollinger last month, members of the Signal Mountain Town Council voted unanimously Tuesday to approve an employment agreement with Justice to fill the position.

Justice, who was on vacation when the council approved the agreement, has been serving as the town’s water utility director and interim town manager.

Council members also voted unanimously to approve the creation of a part-time professional administrative adviser position.
