Rio Nuevo director Greg Shelko will be out of a job June 30 as his position was eliminated from the 2010 fiscal budget that starts July 1, interim City Manager Mike Letcher announced Friday afternoon.
Letcher sent a memo to the City Council with the Shelko decision about a half hour after the Rio Nuevo Multipurpose Facilities Board launched the process to regain control of Rio Nuevo management and finances.
“It is essential that the (Rio Nuevo) District take a larger public role and work collaboratively with diverse stakeholders to achieve its goals,” Shelko said in a prepared statement. “I applaud their initiative today.”
