If the city manager resigned tomorrow, what would you do? How would that disrupt the daily business of the city? Is there a short list of candidates, or someone who could cover the position on an interim basis?

Scott,

We are very blessed in the city of Fresno to have Andy Souza as city manager. When he decides to move on, he will definitely be hard to replace. However, one of the things Andy has been committed to is creating a structure at City Hall called "The New Normal" that ensures that the development of talent at the city be a main component of our policy. Good people in any business are hard to get and hard to keep. But the people of Fresno deserve the best services possible, and people like Andy Souza are critical in achieving that goal.
