We’re so fortunate to have this very busy man with us today. Bob has been our current City Manager since 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.

21. 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;
