The city of Steamboat Springs has parted ways with the director of its Parks and Recreation Department, according to Deputy City Manager Kelly Romero-Heaney. 

“I can confirm that Angela Cosby is no longer employed by the city of Steamboat Springs,” said Romero-Heaney in a Monday statement to the newspaper. “We appreciate and thank her for her years of service leading the Parks and Recreation Department.”

Romero-Heaney said the city does not comment on personnel matters and did not state whether Cosby stepped down from the role or was terminated. She said the decision to part ways with Cosby was made June 9.

The newspaper reached out to Cosby on Monday but she declined to comment on the nature of her departure. 

Cosby was hired in 2018, selected from a pool of 90 applicants to lead the department. Her responsibilities included overseeing Howelsen Hill, Howelsen Ice Arena, Brent Romick Rodeo Arena, Haymaker Golf Course and the Tennis Center at Steamboat Springs. 

The department also manages recreation programs spanning childcare to seniors, as well as park sites, thousands of acres of open space, and dozens of miles of trails and recreation on the Yampa River.

Prior to her work in Steamboat, Cosby served for five years as parks, recreation and community director in Astoria, Oregon, overseeing activities for 36 park sites, three community halls, 10 historic sites, a maritime memorial, a cemetery, an indoor aquatic center, a recreation center and a childcare center for the city of approximately 10,000 residents.

Before that, she held recreation positions in her home county of Spokane County, Washington.

Romero-Heaney said that Stephanie Munro, previously the deputy director of the department, has been named the interim director of the department.
