The city’s public works manager, John Rosenberg, has departed for warmer climes and relatively snow-free streets.
Rosenberg resigned in order to take a position on Vancouver Island near Saanich, says Rob Niewenhuizen, the city’s director of engineering and public works.
Rosenberg’s last day was Dec. 30.
Niewenhuizen said the process of filling the position is underway with interviews taking place this week. The city hopes to fill it by next month.
Rosenberg’s departure is the second change in management announced recently.
Come March, the city’s current director of development services, Corey Paiement, will become the city’s corporate officer, duties which have fallen to Carl Bannister, chief administrative officer, for the past two years. Paiement’s current position is being advertised.
Bannister said Paiement’s new position doesn’t affect the budget.
“It’s not a new budget item – it’s just a reorganization. It’s been about two years that that’s been identified, to try to fill it or reorganize.”
At that time Monica Dalziel was the director of corporate services, but her position changed to chief financial officer. Also, Bannister said, two administrative assistant positions were changed and not replaced.
