City rehires Patterson as an assistant city manager
By ACN staff
A familiar face is returning to the city manager's office at Frisco City Hall. Ron Patterson will serve Frisco as one of its two assistant city managers beginning June 20.
Patterson, 46, will oversee the administration of the police, fire, and information technology departments. He will also assist City Manager George Purefoy on special projects - primarily those related to development and capital projects.
"I'm really excited," Patterson said. "It's a rare opportunity when you get to come home. Both my daughters were born (in Frisco) and it's a blessing to return to such a dynamic city."
After five years, Patterson left Kerrville in the summer of 2005 to become the city manager of Forney, Texas, where he has continued to serve before being rehired by the City of Frisco.
"Ron's professionalism and character are at the top in city management," Purefoy said.
Mayor Mike Simpson echoes Purefoy's confidence in Patterson's experience, skills, and management style.
"We're delighted to have Ron back in Frisco," Simpson said. "We have a lot of respect for what Ron accomplished when he was here before. He knows our city and he has a great relationship with our city manager and staff. He'll be able to hit the ground running during a critical growth period for Frisco."
