NEW BUSINESS

 

Retirement of City Manager Bob Moncur

 

His Worship, Mayor Derek R. Corrigan announced the retirement of City Manager, Bob Moncur, and gave the following address:

 

“Now I’d like to move on to an announcement that is very significant to Council, staff and all of our citizens: after 30 years of exceptional service to our city, City Manager, Bob Moncur, has announced his retirement. 

 

As all Burnaby city staff and the citizens of Burnaby know, Bob is an exemplary leader.  It is under his guidance, direction and stewardship that our City, over the past 30 years, has grown to become a thriving metropolis that has been recognized as the best-run city in Canada and has received innumerable additional honours that speak to Burnaby’s many enviable attributes achieved with Bob at the helm. 

 

 

 

I know that Bob is stepping away from his role as Burnaby’s City Manager with mixed emotions, as he is leaving behind a city that – in large part because of his leadership – is vibrant, welcoming and financially sound, but he is also saying farewell to exceptional staff and colleagues who have worked alongside him to ensure the City’s plans come to fruition.  Together with staff, citizens and councils – many councils, in fact (and three mayors, I believe!) – Bob has been a leader and steward in the building of a city that offers exceptional services to citizens, while protecting green space and keeping taxes low.

 

It’s not surprising that Bob says that he has found his career here to be personally and professionally rewarding: he has achieved great success and formed many strong personal relationships that we know he’ll take with him when he retires. What is also noteworthy, however, is that he doesn’t take credit for the work he has done.  He always attributes the City’s many successes to the councils, staff and citizens who he’s worked with to realize Burnaby’s goals and aspirations.  And he often speaks of the great pleasure he has found in working with exceptional people throughout his career. 

 

Bob says that his personal success is firmly rooted in his practice of hiring competent people, mentoring them, then letting them loose to do what they were hired to do. I think that, reflecting on Bob’s 30 years of success, Council can claim the same sort of victory.  Our success over many years has much to do with hiring Bob.

 

Bob’s last day in the Manager’s chair will be February 29.

 

I, personally, am going to miss Bob’s presence here at the City, along with his advice and leadership – and I know that Burnaby staff and citizens will miss him, too.  So tonight – as we will do several times over the next few months as various groups wish Bob well and celebrate his achievements – please join me and Burnaby City Council in wishing Bob the very best in his retirement.  While we will miss his day-to-day leadership, we will continue to enjoy and build upon its outcomes.  On behalf of staff, citizens and Council, thank you, Bob, for your dedication to the City of Burnaby and for the invaluable legacy your leadership leaves with us. We wish you a wonderful retirement.”

 

Council voiced its deepest appreciation for Mr. Moncur and recognized his key role in many of Burnaby’s successes over the years. Council shared the sentiment that his guidance, wisdom and support would be greatly missed, but wished him all the best in his retirement.

 

Bob Moncur, City Manager

 

Mr. Moncur provided comments on his upcoming retirement, and thanked Council and staff for all of their hard work, dedication and support.
