Bengt Friberg is the highest official in Hudiksvall municipality. Over the years, he has been, among other things, head of upper secondary school and head of administration for the learning and culture administration before he became mayor in 2011, a title that was changed to municipal director in 2019.
– Next year I will turn 66 and I plan to retire sometime in the spring, he says in a press release.
The political leadership has a wish given that it is election year:
– I have asked Bengt to stay until the new political composition of committees and boards has started after the election. Recruiting a municipal director is an important process that must also take its time, says Mikael Löthstam (S), chairman of the municipal board.
