Poll Update: Who is Gary Lee Moore?


As you can see, the poll at the right lists 10 General Managers - some of whom you know and some you may not know.

As of right now, of the few votes cast, the GM with the most is City Engineer Gary Lee Moore. He even beats out the Police Chief and Fire Chief.

Some ask, "Well, what does he do?"

Well, as City Engineer, Mr. Moore is the General Manager of the Bureau of Engineering of the Department of Public Works. He is responsible for the oversight & project management of all public construction projects in the City. (NOTE: street resurfacing, sidewalk repair, and median island installation are under the purview of the Bureau of Street Services, but new roadway construction or street widening falls under Engineering). He also oversees the stormwater system, bond programs, and GIS mapping. His job is to implement the Vision & Mission of the Bureau of Engineering.

With 18 years as a City Employee (he had also worked in the Bureau of Sanitation), Moore was promoted to the job from Deputy City Engineer (which he held since 2001) on October 14, 2003. He is also currently serving as a Director of the American Public Works Association (Southern California Chapter) and of the Woman's Transportation Seminar (Los Angeles Chapter).


Now, I'm not endorsing any one candidate; I'm just letting you know about the current leader (by one vote!).

VOTE NOW, and see if there is a new description for whoever takes the lead next.

I'm not surprised. Anyone who has worked either with or under him knows the guy's top-notch. If you ever hear any city employee talk smack about him, you can label that person a slacker or deadwood. If it's from a consultant, then he's gotten slapped for over-charging or slopping a little too much from the trough.
