DATE: December 1, 2009
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Don Penman, City Manager IF
SUBJECT: APPOINTMENT OF CITY MANAGER PRO TEMPORE
Recommendation: Approve
SUMMARY
With the upcoming retirement of Pat Malloy, it is necessary to appoint a City Manager Pro
Tempore who will serve during the temporary absence or disability of the City Manager.
This report recommends that the City Council approve the appointment of Jason
Kruckeberg, Development Services Director, as the City Manager Pro Tempore (also
referred to as the Assistant City Manager).
DISCUSSION
With the retirement of Pat Malloy on December 30, 2009, it becomes necessary for the
City Manager to appoint a City Manager Pro Tempore who will serve during the
temporary absence or disability of the City Manager. Section 603 of the City Charter
provides that the City Manager make the appointment, which is subject to the approval of
the City Council.
By way of this staff report I am requesting City Council approval of the appointment of
Jason Kruckeberg as City Manager Pro Tempore. Mr. Kruckeberg will continue to
function as the Development Services Director with the new title of Assistant City
Manager /Development Services Director. I believe Jason is very qualified for this
position and will continue to serve the City of Arcadia well in this capacity.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is already a position classification of Assistant City Manager /Development
Services Director so there is no need to create a new classification. The salary is 5%
above the current Development Services Director range; an appropriation is not
necessary as the additional cost will be absorbed in the current operating budget:
