Fremantle has been CAO for Powell River for the past five years and previously held the position in Golden, B.C., and Pasadena, Newfoundland.
City officials say Fremantle was chosen from five candidates for his mix of skills and attributes, which include experience in managing at the senior level, intergovernmental relations, labour issues, upgrades to infrastructure, comprehensive community development planning, capital project planning, city hall renovations, reorganizing departments to increase efficiencies, sewage treatment and paving programs and government housing.
City reviews transit study
The city’s administration has received a transit study based on the four-week bus trial this past fall.
In October, the city ran two bus routes to gauge the demand of a public transit system in the capital.
City officials expect to present recommendations at the next council meeting, Jan. 28.
Funds have been allocated in the 2003 budget for a regular transit system.
