Arnold, MO – October 3, 2025 — The City of Arnold is pleased to announce the appointment of Anthony Traxler as its new City Administrator. Traxler brings more than 29 years of local government experience to the role, including six years as a City Administrator or City Manager.

Anthony’s extensive background spans a wide range of municipal leadership responsibilities from managing growth in rapidly expanding residential communities to overseeing large-scale commercial redevelopment projects.
He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Urban and Regional Planning from the University of Illinois and a Master’s degree in Public Administration and Policy Analysis from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.

Throughout his career, Traxler has served in key planning and management roles across several municipalities. His early career included positions in the Planning Departments of Champaign, IL, Chesterfield, MO and Maryland Heights, MO. He later served as Assistant to the City Administrator for the City of Frontenac, MO.

Traxler went on to serve as City Administrator for Columbia, IL for four years before joining the City of Maplewood in 2008 as Assistant City Manager and Director of Public Works, where he oversaw the Public Works, Building, and Parks departments.

“We are excited to welcome Anthony to our team,” said Acting City Administrator Bill Lehmann. “His extensive background, combined with his leadership experience in city management, make him an exceptional fit for our community.”

“The City had an extensive hiring process that included several qualified candidates and multiple interviews. Anthony made a very strong impression during the final interview with the City Council. We are grateful for all who participated in this process.”

As City Administrator, Traxler will be responsible for overseeing all administrative staff and city department heads, advising the City Council on municipal operations, preparing and maintaining the annual city budget, and representing the City in official matters.

Anthony Traxler will officially begin his role with the City of Arnold on October 30, 2025.

A hearing will be held at 7:00 pm, September 18, 2025, at Arnold City Hall at which time citizens may be heard on the property tax rates proposed to be set by the City of Arnold. The tax rates shall be set to produce the revenue for the budget for the fiscal year beginning September 1, 2025, to show the required revenues from the property tax. This tax rate is determined by dividing the amount of revenue required by the current assessed valuation. The result is multiplied by 100 so the tax rate will be expressed in cents per $100 valuation.
