City directors Fred Bado, Jim Ronga, and Bill Bergin are all retiring as the new administration enters City Hall, but new Mayor Peter Cammarano has not yet finalized his recommendations to the City Council for the new city directors.
Bergin said that he has been asked to stay on until a new director of Public Safety is selected.
However, the positions in the departments of Community Development and Environmental Services may need interim directors while Cammarano makes his recommendations to the City Council, according to Michael Novak, transition team chairman.
The next City Council meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, July 22, three weeks from this past Wednesday.
Council President Dawn Zimmer said part of the reason it was pushed back is so the council can organize an ad hoc committee to review the directorial recommendations before voting on them.
Robert Lisa, the former acting police chief, also retired last week after being passed over for the chief’s position. Lisa was offered a position as deputy chief by the state, but decided instead to retire after 31 years on the force.
