It gives me great pleasure to announce that Evan Boyd has accepted my offer to become Redwood City’s next Public Works Services Director effective Sept. 7, 2010.

Following 14 years of management positions in the manufacturing and consulting sectors, in 2006 Evan became the general manager of Allied Waste Services of San Mateo County, where he has led a $120M business unit with 370 employees.

He holds a degree in business administration from Chapman University, and in 2007 was named to the Silicon Valley Business Journal’s “40 under 40 people to watch”.

Evan brings us a wealth of management and leadership experience, a passion for customer service, and many solid working relationships across our community and the County. He will be a major asset to the city’s executive team and our policy makers as we move into a future of resource challenges, clarification of core services, refinement of service delivery standards and measures, and our pursuit of shared services opportunities.

Please join me in welcoming Evan to Redwood City!
