Interim Community Development Director Begins Work

San Andreas, Ca — John Taylor has stepped in as the new interim Community Development Director for Calaveras County after being appointed by the Board of Supervisors on August 5.

?I think that the biggest challenge is to bring everybody together and to understand that we have a common purpose,? says Taylor. ?The fate of the department rests in its own hands. There´s a good group of people working there, and I think they will rise to the occasion.?

Taylor has a career that includes 30 years of public and private sector senior and executive management in California. The Board of Supervisors has asked him to compile a report recommending what the Community Development Department should look like in the future, and how it should function. Taylor is also managing the day-to-day operations of the office.

He replaced outgoing Director Stephanie Moreno.
