San Juan Bautista owes a debt of gratitude to Don Reynolds for six years of devotion to the community and accomplishment as City Manager. His last day in office on Friday, December 20 went without any particular recognition or acknowledgement. But during his tenure, he focused on the strategic issues that will impact SJB’s success into the future: maintaining fiscal stability and ensuring a reliable and environmentally sound water and wastewater system.
Every small town faces challenges to meet citizen expectations for service, to assemble and lead a small staff, and to encourage economic development. Don managed those challenges with skill and will leave his successor a foundation for future prosperity.
It is said that it is not the mountain ahead that wears you down, but the stone in your shoe. Don never took his eyes off the big issues while embracing the many smaller demands that help define community and quality of life in San Juan Bautista. Thank you, Don.
