Perez steps into the role with nearly 20 years of local government experience, having previously held positions as Management Analyst, Parks and Recreation leader, Economic Development Executive Director, Assistant City Manager, and City Manager in prior jurisdictions.
Throughout her career, Perez has led major initiatives in capital projects, economic development, park development, housing, public works, and strategic planning, according to the city's announcement.
