DATE: May 7, 2009
TO: Mayor and City Council
.FROM: Eric Fresch, City Administrator
RE: Appointment of New City Administrator
I have been your City Administrator for a little over.two years. In that time we have
proposed to you and you. have adopted various ordinances that reorganized the City's
administrative structure.
Your Department Heads now have the authority and responsibility to manage their
respectivedepartments..Various positions have been created to better manage the
City's needs and facilitate efficient communications with other governmental agencies,
:capital markets, the, City's lenders, and .Wall Street.
The City's credit rating has been increased two levels to the "A-3" category. We have
structured the optimal use of our Light & Power resources, culminating in the City
receiving nearly $400 million in proceeds from that asset restructuring. The City has
paid off all of its nearly $300 million in project debt. And finally, the City has
successfully restructured its natural gas supply to low interest long term debt.
Ironically, I worked with the team representing the City accomplishing these objectives
as an attorney. Today, I am recommending to you to appoint Donal O' Callaghan,
.effective May 15th; 2009, as the administrative head of the City's government in the role
of City Administrator. He can devote his .entire time~to the duties and interests of the
City in this new. role, as well as serving. as the City's Director of Light & Power.
I make these recommendations to the City at no. additional economic cost for Donal's
services. My own contract hourly rates for legal services also remain the same and as
always the amount of hours l work are subject to the City's request and approval
Thank you .for the privilege. of serving this City.
