RE: Request for confirmation of appointment of Gino Grimaldi as City Administrator

January 21, 2003 City Council Meeting

First, I wish to thank the entire City Council for participating as the interview panel for the six finalists for the position of City Administrator. The process we used for screening the candidates was both thorough and professional, and I am pleased to be able to recommend confirmation of Mr. Gino Grimaldi as our next City Administrator.

Since each of you have already received a copy of his resume, I will not reiterate his qualifications here. In summary, Mr. Grimaldi brings to us 22 years of local government experience with demonstrated accomplishments in community relations, transportation, economic development, financial management, community consensus building, negotiations and intergovernmental relations as well as a proven ability to work effectively with elected officials, citizen groups, and employees in a team-oriented environment.

He will begin his employment with the City on February 18 at an annual salary of $111,184, which is within the range established for the position. Interim Administrator Brian Almquist negotiated the other terms and conditions under my direction.

In accord with the City Charter, I therefore request your confirmation of my appointment of Gino Grimaldi as City Administrator, effective February 18, 2003.
