New City Manager Contract for Sabrina Landreth to be considered May 21, 2013 at 7:15 pm

On Tuesday, May 21, 2013, the City Council will vote on a contract for a new City Manager. Sabrina Landreth is the person we selected out of a large number of applicants, and I look forward to introducing her to the entire community. As I had mentioned previously, this is the biggest job of the council -- to find an inspiring leader to manage the operations of the city. I think we have found a real star.

Please come to the meeting to learn more and meet Sabrina. More info is available from the staff report for item 5/14 in the revised agenda packet for May 21. We will have a more formal introduction of her once her contract is confirmed.

Here is the information from the interim City Manager: As you are aware, over the past several  months the City Council has been engaged in a process to bring on board a new City Manager. The City Council has selected Sabrina Landreth to fill that role and the Council will consider an employment agreement with Ms. Landreth at their meeting next Tuesday May 21, 2013. Sabrina comes to Emeryville after working for the City of Oakland for several years, most recently as Deputy City Administrator and Budget Director. Sabrina holds an engineering degree from M.I.T. and a Master’s in Public Policy from U.C. Berkeley. Should the City Council approve the employment agreement on Tuesday evening, Sabrina will start in her new role on June 24, 2013.
