David Reyes has served as the City’s Assistant City Manager (ACM) for almost a year. He joined the City of Pasadena in 2012 as the Planning and Community Development Department’s Zoning Administrator. In 2013, he was promoted to Deputy Director and in 2016 served as the Department Director.
“David has worked very closely with Sidney (Jackson) over the course of the last year on major policy initiatives, staffing, capital improvement and infrastructure projects,” said City Manager Miguel Márquez. “I am confident that his knowledge, experience, energy, and leadership skills will keep the Department of Water and Power moving forward while we initiate a recruitment process for a new General Manager.”
Matt Hawkesworth, the current Director of Finance for the City, will be appointed Acting Assistant City Manager temporarily. He will maintain his position as Finance Director, which he has held since 2015.
“I am confident these acting appointments will keep our momentum strong and continue the great work already in progress,” concluded Pasadena City Manager Márquez.
