Discussion:

I am happy to recommend Alex Jordan to be the next City Engineer.

 

Alex comes to us from the City of Lakeville, where he has held various positions over the last 10 years. He began as a Civil Engineer, was promoted to Senior/Project Engineer, and has served as the Assistant City Engineer for the last five years. In addition to his work in Lakeville, Alex has previously worked for SRF Consulting Group and the City of Bloomington. 

 

Alex holds a B.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of Minnesota, is a registered Professional Engineer, and is actively involved in a number of professional organizations and committees. His  wealth of knowledge and experience would be great assets to our community. 

Budget Impact:
Alex would be filling the currently vacant City Engineer position, which has been previously budgeted.
