As of today, I start in my new role as Acting City Manager. While Rob
will be working on special projects that the Council wants him to focus
on before he retires at the end of June, I am taking on the full duties
of the city manager until the Council hires Rob’s successor.
This temporary situation creates a trickle-down effect in our
organization, as more staff will be filling in “acting” roles while the
Council goes through the city manager hiring process.
To temporarily backfill my job as Assistant City Manager, the current
Development Services Director (DSD), Kevin Payne, will be appointed as
the City’s Acting ACM. This in turn creates the temporary need to
backfill Kevin’s role.
The current Development Services Manager, Mike Isom, will be
appointed to the Acting DSD. Both Kevin and Mike are long-term employees
and look forward to supporting the organization during this
transitional timeframe. Please note that these temporary changes are
effective today, Monday April 16, 2018.
The Council intends to make its decision by the end of summer, so in
the meantime, we will be temporarily relocating office space. Please
bear with us as offices get rearranged this week.
As always please feel free to contact me should you have any questions or comments.
