BRIGHTON COUNCIL WELCOMES NEW CAO
OIL CHANGE
READY FOR A GREAT SHOW
SPECIAL
✃
Brighton - Council welcomed its new chief administrative officer at its meeting Monday night. Bob Casselman, who officially took the reins as the municipality's top administrator with the passing of a bylaw, said he's "very much looking forward to working with council, with staff and, quite frankly, the community as a whole ... (and) to moving forward with the various initiatives that are being identified within the strategic plan for the next five years." Casselman, who's in his 50s, has committed to serving as Brighton's CAO for that length of time. He was city manager at Brockville before being chosen from among 48 candidates to replace Gary King. King had come out of retirement last August to be CAO on an interim basis after Bill Watson left for reasons never made public, whether he chose to go on his own or was asked to leave. Ostrander said council has been the "full benefactors" of King's experience, wisdom and "frank discussion" of matters both privately "and in public where necessary."

King, who admitted to being an "emotional guy," was genuinely touched by the show of appreciation, saying it "made all those months really worth it." Veteran Coun. Mary Tadman told King he had been "such an asset" that he was "the first real CAO" Brighton has had since shortly after amalgamation in the See OUTGOING, page 2
