Update on Transition Team; Next Steps

To date, no offers have been extended and any announcements of such shall be made by me.

Interest in joining our administration is high, so please know that my enthusiasm will be informed by careful planning and transparency. I promised a new era of professionalism and accountability, and that begins with this process. My team and I are committed to a fair, impartial and comprehensive search for the best possible candidates.

A transition team is being formed to support this effort and will be tasked with vetting potential candidates and making the appropriate recommendations for key positions. As stated throughout the campaign process, all appointments will be assessed and ultimately hired based on their qualifications, professional experience and the needs of the City.
