New managing director on the job (Heard in the Hall)

New managing director on the job

After a delayed start because of the sudden death of her husband, new City Managing Director Camille Barnett has officially begun her job today.

A few minutes ago, she breezed down a hallway in City Hall on her way into Room 221 to attend a Cabinet meeting in the mayor's office.

Barnett is scheduled to be sworn into office at 4:15 p.m. today, along with new city Commerce Director Andy Altman.

Also today, Nutter is expected to formally name Lori Shorr as his education director, as the Inquirer reported a few weeks ago.

I am told by sources in various departments that most departments have been asked to develop and submit budgets for next year with a 5% decrease in spending.

I am told by reliable sources in several city departments that they are all being asked to submit budgets with a 5% decrease in spending for next year.
