1992 Research and Budget Director (two years) and Senior Management Analyst (two years) Senior Budget Analyst, Catawba County, NC 1986 – 1988 Downtown Project Manager, Lynn, MA 1984 – 1985 Background The population of Savannah is 143,000 people. The City has 2,600 employees and Mr. Morrill supervises 220. The total budget is $280 million while the general fund component is $180 million. The three most important issues that face Savannah:  Financial impact of the recession. Revenues have declined yet the demand for services remains high;  Citizen engagement. Citizen participation in local government, and indeed awareness of what it is doing, has declined. Governments need to find new ways to engage and inform their residents; and  Balancing the economic development with environmental goals while maintaining a high quality of life. Interview Comments Mr. Morrill has been an Assistant City Manager for eight years in Savannah, GA. Although he feels no need to leave his position, he sees the City Manager position in Roanoke as an opportunity that he cannot pass up. Roanoke is a progressive community and has some of the same challenges Savannah has. He notes that over the past 20 years, Savannah has made many significant changes for the better and he wants to bring not just his skills, but what he has learned, to Roanoke. He feels he can make a difference and help Roanoke become not just a better city but a better community. From a personal point of view, it is also one of few cities Mr. Morrill would consider moving to and living in. He enjoys the mountains and would be closer to family. -5- Packet Pg. 274  6.1.a.b Christopher Morrill On a day to day basis, Mr. Morrill’s management style is to promote collaboration.
