The Star Tribune would have R.T. keep Planning Director Chuck
Ballentine, Development Director Steve Cramer, and City Coordinator
Kathleen O'Brien.
I'm not sure it's fair to link Kathy O'Brien in this. She announced last spring that regardless of the election, she was going to be leaving as City Coordinator. After eight years on the job she felt it was time for her to make a change. I don't blame her. She did a wonderful job, often thankless, and she deserves to leave to do something else.
