In more detail regarding Gary Sexton’s job, what he does is something cities usually find a consultant to do, Bremerton’s financial services director Laura Lyon told me following Wednesday’s meeting. I’ve never covered a city that had someone doing specifically what Sexton does, which Eric Williams described in a story earlier this year as overseeing most of the city’s redevelopment projects.
On Bainbridge Island the city has a project manager hired for two years to oversee a visioning process for its downtown.
