Barely lasting three months on the job, Joe Tanner, Moraga administrative services director, resigned on Aug. 3.
"It is unfortunate that Joe is no longer with the Town. Moraga is a unique community and not the right fit for everyone. We are currently recruiting to fill the Administrative Services Director position," Town Manager Cynthia Battenberg said. "In the meantime, our accountant, Yuliya Elbo (who has been with the town for nine years) and I (who served as Deputy Finance Director for the city of San Leandro and managed a $130 million a year budget) are working together to ensure that the town's financial matters are properly handled."
If the new hire comes on board in 2018, that person will be the third administrative services director in less than a year for the town, which recently rescinded its declaration of fiscal emergency.
