Bob Hall, FV City Manager We’re so fortunate to have this very busy man with us today. Bob has been our current City Manager since 2013. He came to us from Huntington Beach, and before that worked for the city of Riverside, Moreno Valley College, and Riverside City College. He has his Bachelor of Science degree, as well as his Master of Public Administration degree from California State University, San Bernardino. He’s not all business, he enjoys fishing, surfing, and watching his daughter play volleyball. We’re delighted he’s able to spend some time with us and share some of the serious concerns facing our city.

Keep us O Lord, from pettiness, The Collect Keep us O Lord, from pettiness, Let us be large in thought, in word, in deed. Let us be done with fault-finding And leave off self-seeking May we put away all pretense And meet each other face to face Without self-pity and without prejudice. May we never be hasty in judgment And always be generous Let us take time for all things;
