from City Manager Dominick Casey
I’m pleased to announce two new additions to our leadership team. Kevin Payne has been named Assistant City Manager and Stacey Peterson has been hired as our new Human Resources Director.
Kevin has worked for the City of Roseville for 25 years, serving most recently as Acting Assistant City Manager for the past four months and previously as the Development Services Director for five years. He has more than 30 years of both public and private planning and development experience.
As an Assistant City Manager, Kevin will oversee Development Services, Public Works, and Parks, Recreation & Libraries.
Kevin has played an important role in the development and implementation of the Downtown Specific Plan, including the Vernon Street Town Square, 316 Vernon Street office building, new Fire Station 1, the new Oak Street parking garage and the soon-to-be-completed Downtown Bridges and Trail project.
Kevin’s experience and depth of knowledge about the Roseville community, smart growth and land use planning will be invaluable to our executive team.
Please join me in congratulating Kevin.
After a highly competitive recruitment process, Stacey Peterson will be joining us September 5 as our new Human Resources Director, replacing Gayle Satchwell who will be retiring November 30.
Stacey will assume full responsibilities as HR Director when she starts, and Gayle will support her during the transition and help wrap up projects, as Gayle works out of the City Manager’s Office. Given the complexities of the HR Department’s services and functions, this overlap is a critical opportunity to allow as smooth a transition as possible.
Having most recently served as Human Resources Director for the City of San Rafael, Stacey is looking forward to returning to the Capital region. In her 24-year public-sector career, she has worked in human resources for Yolo County, City of Rancho Cordova and Sacramento County.
While working for the City of Rancho Cordova, Stacey was instrumental in getting that organization named on the Great Places to Work list published by Fortune Magazine three years in a row.
Our interview panelists were impressed with Stacey’s breadth of experience, innovation, and vision for Human Resources in the public sector and Roseville.
Please join me in welcoming Stacey to our team!
