Abbotsford city manager Frank Pizzuto offered his surprise resignation Tuesday. According to a press release issued late Tuesday afternoon, Pizzuto will leave his post effective Jan. 4, 2013. Pizzuto could not be reached for comment about why he tendered his resignation. Mayor
Bruce Banman wouldn't speak to the specific reasons for Pizzuto's
departure or specify whether or not it had been anticipated. "The timing was a bit of a surprise," said Banman. "They were personal reasons, and it's not appropriate for me to speak to why he left." He also wouldn't comment on whether or not Pizzuto was asked to resign. Pizzuto joined the City of Abbotsford in June of 2008 just months before former mayor George Peary was elected in November. Pizzuto,
a former chief administrative officer of Amherstburg, Ont., and the
past GM of downtown development and community services for the City of
Kitchener, became Abbotsford's top civil servant at a time when several
lightning rod issues came to a head. Both Pizzuto and Peary came
on board with the city to deal with the completion of the Abbotsford
Entertainment and Sports Centre, end negotiations on the controversial
Abbotsford Heat deal and spearhead the failed referendum around the
proposed P3 Stave Lake water project - all of which occurred during a
global recession and heightened taxpayer fatigue. (more)
