KINGMAN – Jason Moquin began working as Development Services Director for the City of Kingman in late July. He was afforded opportunity to introduce himself at the Aug. 14 meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.
“I have a background in urban planning and development, working in the municipal as well as in the private sector for over 25 years,” Moquin said. “I spent the last three years with the City of Surprise up until three weeks ago and joining the City of Kingman.”
Moquin said he looked forward to presenting projects and working with the Commission.
City Manager Tim Walsh said Moquin engaged in restructuring and improving efficiencies in previous assignments, and that the skill set is a good fit in a municipality working to upgrade in the Development Services arena. He said Moquin brings a good background and great attitude to Kingman’s leadership team.
Walsh said that Interim Director Mike Rodriguez will stay on a number of weeks to help Moquin get settled, and to finish some initiatives before easing back into retirement. Rodriguez told Commissioners he’s enjoyed his Kingman involvement.
“I want to thank you for the opportunity to have been able to serve as Interim Director for the past 8 ? months,” Rodriquez said. “I thought it was going to be a short-term assignment and it dragged on a little longer than we originally thought, but I appreciate your patience in allowing me to be able to kind of get myself used to how we conduct business at the City of Kingman.”
