We had another press conference today, this time to introduce Michael Beck, who has accepted the offer from the city council to be Pasadena's next city manager effective Oct. 1.
The press conference was in the council chamber, where
Mayor Bogaard made the announcement.
A lot of local reporters and editors were there from various news agencies, including
Larry Wilson and
Janette Williams from
Pasadena Star-News, Andre Coleman from
Pasadena Weekly,
Terry Miller from
Pasadena Independent,
Marc Berry from
Crown City News, Dean Lee and Susan Henderson from
Mountain Views Observer,
Candice Merrill from
Pasadena Now and others.
Mayor Bogaard also sang the praises of
Barney Melekian, who has done a masterful job of serving as city manager in an interim capacity and will go back to his duties as Pasadena's police chief in October.
I spent a lot of time with Michael Beck today and I have a good feeling about him. He's a good leader with a good track record in local government, plus he's a dedicated family man which makes him A-OK in my book.
Here's the news release that was sent out today.
