UPDATED 1/11/2023: The Unsung Heroes of Redmond City Hall

These executives are the unsung heroes who run our government and implement Council policy.  Mayor Birney does a little bit of both. 

I'm sad to say Chip Corder left the City of Redmond.  In my 16 years of following Redmond government, I've never seen a better Director of Finance. He did a fabulous job managing the finances of the Senior & Community Center re-development and this year's bi-annual budget.  He was very kind to me.  No doubt municipalities and other jurisdictions desired him. Thanks and KUDOS Mr. Corder!
