Director of community development to temporarily take the helm while city search for permanent replacement to Malinen.
The Roseville City Council late Thursday afternoon unanimously appointed community development director Pat Trudgeon as interim city manager. Trudgeon's appointment came at a special meeting, two days after six-year city veteran Bill Malinen resigned over what appeared to be differences in style. In an interview with Patch, Mayor Dan Roe contended Malinen and the Council were not effectively working together. Both sides realized they were not "fitting together well," he said. "In the best interests of each other it made sense to part ways." At Thursday's special meeting, Council members said any number of adminisrative department heads could serve as interim city manager. Other potential appointees included public works director Duane …

Council-manager relations had been an apparent issue for several months.
Tuesday's resignation by Roseville City Manager Bill Malinen has come with a price tag: The City Council is granting him seven months severance pay as part of his separation agreement. Asked about Malinen's severance package, Roseville Mayor Dan Roe told Roseville Patch the departed city manager is receiving seven months pay, six months per his original employment contract plus one extra month for consultative services. Based on Malinen's 2013 annual salary of $141,024, he will receive about $82, 000 in severance pay. Although he declined to divulge specifics, Roe said Malinen's departure wasn't sudden or unexpected. "This has been in the works for sometime,' since the Council's December performance review of him, the mayor said. Roe …

Plenty discussions ahead.
Ongoing debate about Roseville’s 2012-2013 budget is scheduled to resume at the City Council’s Aug. 22 meeting. But any talk of tax hikes or revenue increases won’t end until the final budget vote in December. The next reality check for the five-member Council is Sept. 12, when it must establish a tax levy that cannot be exceeded, Roseville City Manager Bill Malinen said Thursday. “It can’t go up after that date; it can only go down,” said Malinen. Roseville’s 2011 budget is $39 million, with $14.7 million of that sum coming from the city tax levy. The remaining money comes from a variety of city fees, charges for municipal services and enterprise funding, he said. In 2012, Roseville plans to shift to a two-year, or biennial, budget period…

I agree in general with Mr Hess's comments...but I didn't see anywhere that any current city employee is precluded from working their way to the top. Even when cities, school boards, other government or non-profit organizations do pay for a search, there can always usually be internal candidates. In fact, they statistically have an advantage... so much so, that if you talk with search firms, they… more ›
