CIVIC CENTER -- Bonnie Teaford has accepted the position of city

engineer in Burbank’s Public Works Department.

Teaford, 42, began work Dec. 1. The position had been vacant since

1989, city officials said. She will oversee engineering, sewer, storm

water discharge and landfill issues.

With a glut of large projects on the horizon, as well as plans to

repair the city’s infrastructure, Burbank decided it was time to fill the

open engineer position, said Cindy Flad-McGurn, a Public Works

spokeswoman.

Teaford, who lives in Valencia, previously worked as an engineer for

the state’s Department of Toxic Substances Control.

The city engineer position pays between $82,776 and $100,560 per year,

officials said.
