South Be4eeting d Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular - September 5, 1980 <br />4. CO SWICATIONS (continued) <br />a. gontlnued..... <br />ayor Parent: It is obvious to everyone <br />hat we did not steal the Director of <br />he Public Works without some input. <br />r. McMahon has been with the City' <br />ince 1972 and he was the Manager of <br />he Bureau of Public Construction,for <br />number of years. At that time and <br />wring that period he supervised and <br />oordinated the construction of the <br />entury Center. He has input very <br />trongly from the beginning of the <br />first Bank Project and he is� now <br />eading the Century Mall Projectefor <br />he city administration. I feel that <br />he appointment of Mr. McMahon is a <br />.-finite plus for the City because <br />f his experience in economic develop - <br />ent obviously with public works, and - <br />ith the business community generally. <br />am most gratified that we are able <br />D have a person of his calibre to accept <br />his position. I have asked Mr. McMahon <br />D retain his position and some of the <br />oards in which he presently serves to <br />ssist in the transition, certainly <br />ritil the end of the year and perhaps <br />ven a little longer than that. He will <br />e serving-90% if not more 'than that <br />ri the economic development activities <br />rid the redevelopment department. <br />am very pleased with the.appointment. <br />t leaves me with the job of replacing <br />r. McMahon which will be very difficult. <br />r. McMahon would you care to say a few <br />Ards? <br />r. McMahon: I certainly appreciate the <br />onfidence that the Commission and the <br />ayor have expressed in offering this <br />osition to me. I would hope that in <br />ime that I give service in this <br />egard that the job I do is as highly <br />egarded as Mr. Ellison is. I feel <br />hat those are some big steps to follow. <br />r. Nimtz: Thank you Mr. McMahon. <br />hank you Mayor Parent. <br />1011 <br />
