Pasadena : Palo Alto Man Takes Deputy Manager Post
Edward Aghjayan, a utilities consultant in Palo Alto, has accepted a newly created deputy city manager position, City Manager Donald F. McIntyre has announced. Aghjayan, 45, will begin the $75,000-a-year job as deputy city manager for public works and water and power next month.
A native of Boston and a second generation Armenian-American, Aghjayan has been director of utilities for the cities of Austin, Tex., and Palo Alto, where he now runs his own consulting firm.
The new position is one of two deputy city manager jobs created by the Pasadena Board of City Directors earlier this year as part of a far-reaching government reorganization that was designed to save an estimated $180,000 a year.
