Phoenix City Manager David Cavazos Thursday posted the following statement:
“With gratitude for an exceptional Mayor and City Council, fellow employees and the community, today I am announcing that I have reached an agreement with the City of Santa Ana, California to become city manager, pending City Council approval on Monday, Aug. 5.
“It has been an honor and privilege to serve the City of Phoenix for more than 26 years, especially the last four years as city manager. Because of the outstanding leadership of the Mayor and City Council, excellent city employees and an involved, committed community, we have accomplished many goals in the last few years (view biography).
“I will be working closely with the Mayor and City Council over the coming months during my transition and completing some important assignments that are still at hand.”
Rose Law Group Founder, President Jordan Rose issued this statement:
“Isn’t it interesting the metro area has had so many of these manager positions come up in just the past six months: Scottsdale, Glendale, Maricopa, Pinal County, Cave Creek and now Phoenix. Musical chairs for sure!”
