Bill has been San Clemente’s City Engineer for 29 years and added the Public Works Director responsibilities seven years ago. Prior to San Clemente, Bill was City Engineer and Public Works Director in Gresham, Oregon for 10 years. His career began in Glendora as a Civil Engineering Assistant for 4 years. Bill attributes his Department’s success to a number of factors. They include the direction and support of City Councils and City Managers who understand the importance of building and maintaining quality infrastructure to meet the needs of their citizens. Also important are responsive, high quality Public Works employees and teamwork with other departments. In addition, Bill and his staff are continuously striving to improve how services can be improved and performed in a cost-effective manner. Bill’s efforts to maintain and improve Public Works infrastructure have resulted in innovative programs and projects to expand the capacity of and rehabilitate municipal facilities, including streets, storm drains, parks, pier, sewer, water, and recycled water systems. He has directed the development of innovative asset management programs for several of these systems and creative financial programs to fund rehabilitation and upgrading of public works infrastructure. Examples of funding mechanisms are a city-wide street assessment district, storm drain utility fee, clean ocean utility fee and development impact fee for streets. Bill is especially proud of the City’s Street Improvement Program that has rehabilitated more than 50% of the City’s deteriorating streets over a 15-year period. Bill enjoys the quick pace, wide variety of Public Works infrastructure and challenges of fast-growing cities with aging infrastructure. He looks forward to continuing the efforts of the Public Works team to improve services provided for San Clemente residents and businesses.
