Overall: RFL: Rolfe stays up to date with AWWA listings, with the intention of finding a City that is progressive in terms
of water management. He feels that the Cit of San Diego is so, and he would be excited to explore this
opportunity further. I"'m interested in working for an organization that is open minded, interested in trying new
ideas and trying new technologies. The organization that I'm in doesn't seem to have those qualities. As I was
looking around for positions, the City of San Diego seems to have those interests. The City seems to be
progressive. It seems like a fit from afar."

Rolfe has over 30 years in the public sector, and close to 20 as an executive. He worked with the City of
Cleveland as an Assistant Commissioner of Plant Operations for 14 years, and is currently the Executive
Director of the Niagara Falls Water Board. He works exclusively with the City of Niagara Falls, where he
interfaces with elected officials, including the Mayor, frequently. Rolfe supervises a staff of 120 with 5 direct
reports. He communicated a strong understanding of the public sector. He was poised and easy to follow in his
communication style, and provided great examples.
