About

Local Government Advisors, Inc (LGA) was incorporated in 2007 to provide services to select Florida based local governments. The President of LGA, Dr. Robert E. Lee, retired from the City Manager profession a month before forming this firm. He served in the City Management profession for 26 years (the last 23 years in Florida); serving as the Chief Appointed Official in three different forms of government during his career.

Dr. Lee’s primary clients are Florida local governments (county, municipal, and special districts). In his work with local governments, he provides training on ethics, public records, and public meeting laws, and prepares and facilitates strategic planning and charter review processes. Dr. Lee also assists local governments with personnel matters and finance issues and assists in intergovernmental conflicts/mediation.

Dr. Lee’s Doctorate Degree is in Public Administration. In addition to his work with local governments through LGA, Dr. Lee successfully bridges “practical public service” with academia by serving as MPA Coordinator and Associate Professor in the graduate school of Political Science and Public Administration at Florida Gulf Coast University where he teaches graduate courses in Strategic Planning, Public Budgeting, Public Finance, Public Personnel Management, Administrative Ethics, and Non-Profit Management.

To ensure appropriate time and attention is given to each LGA client, Dr. Lee’s services are exclusively limited to select clients based upon his time and his interest in the services requested.
