Burlingame
city administrator resigns
Wayne White
Managing Editor
Burlingame will be searching for a new city administrator after
last week’s announcement by Flip Hutfles that he is resigning.
Hutfles’ announcement was made public after the Burlingame
City Council held a second executive session to discuss personnel
at the Sept. 2 meeting.
Hutfles, who has served as city administrator since January 2007,
declined to reveal his future plans this week, although he confirmed
he would be leaving Burlingame.
“I just needed to go on to a new direction,” Hutfles
said Tuesday morning. “The budget is approved, the water project
has begun, so it’s a good time to leave.”
He said his resignation was “a last minute decision,”
and “we’ve still got a couple things we’re working
on.”
Hutfles said his contract required a 30-day notice before he resigned;
his resignation is effective Oct. 3.
He said he would be willing to assist the city council in searching
for a replacement.
“I will help them as much as I can,” he said. “Even
when I’m no longer here, I’m willing to provide my assistance.”
He said the council has made no decisions regarding replacing him
or beginning a search for a new administrator.
Following Hutfles’ announcement, the council voted unanimously
to accept his resignation. |
