Monica Dalziel, the city’s director of corporate services, is leaving the city’s employ. Dalziel is leaving to go to Enderby, confirms Carl Bannister, the city’s chief administrative officer.  “She’s received an offer from the City of Enderby,” he said. “She has been a great employee for the city, dedicated and loyal and a hard worker. It’s certainly to Enderby’s credit that they’re getting her.”  Dalziel’s last day will be May 13. With a municipal election upcoming in November, the city will be in a bit of a bind trying to replace her. “Monica is the chief elections officer and fills a number of other roles in corporate services, which has to do with various functions in the city, and is also chief financial officer, so a combination of corporate and financial services. She’ll be difficult to replace and I’m looking at options for the city,” Bannister said. The city finalizes its 2011 budget in May, but Bannister said that will likely be complete before Dalziel leaves.
