CONSULTANT
               Consulting Services                             November 2016 – January 2017

              Reasons for leaving:
              Provided consulting services for two clients at their request prior to beginning the position at City of Tucson.

              CITY OF ENCINITAS
               Acting Director                                 October 2015 – October 2016
               Deputy Director                                 June 2014 – September 2015
               Principal Planner II (City Planner)*            March 2014 – June 2014
              *Title changed by City Council to Deputy Director to reflect actual responsibilities.
              Reasons for leaving:
              The City had never been in compliance with State of California Housing Element Law.  I was asked to prepare the
              Housing Element program, which made me unpopular with residents who did not want any new housing.  Nonetheless,
              the program was unanimously approved and placed on the ballot by the City Council.  The City Council chose not to
              campaign for it, as four of the five members were running for re-election.  After it failed at the ballot, the City was sued
              three times, new State laws passed and a court order issued to compel City compliance
              (https://www.allenmatkins.com/real-ideas/state-law-prevails-over-slow-growth-vote-in-encinitas.html).  I was in
              process for my next position and did not want to remain at Encinitas during the hostile period leading up to the election
              in an environment where the third City Manager in my nearly three years at Encinitas was signaling she wanted to
              bring in her own team.  Four of the five directors in place when the latest City Manager arrived voluntarily departed,
              including me.  The Public Works/Utilities Director and I announced our departures on the same day.
