Bountiful City Manager identified the biggest challenge currently facing the city staff is managing the many projects already in work including fiber, new parks, trails, roads, and communications upgrade.

Bob is an experienced project manager and understands the importance of working together with subject matter experts to gather planning, deliverables, execution, budgets, and schedule information. A detailed plan reduces risks of project creep, cost over runs, and delays. A good plan identifies future operations and maintenance requirements not just current year expenses.

Bob will encourage and facilitate more detailed city project planning for current and future projects. The community can expect to know when infrastructure services will be provided and out year budgets for those costs.

Bob’s years of industry experience as a project engineer, telecommunications technology developer, and business manager provide valuable leadership experience needed for today’s challenges… and the future!
