Public Administration Alumni

Jay M. Bahr, MPA ’94
Upon last update I was serving as the Village Administrator in Waterville, OH. Most recently I taught American Government and Economics courses at Owens Community College in the Toledo area. Currently I am working on the Keith Wilkowski for Mayor Campaign in Toledo, running the HQ on Lagrange Street in the Heart of Toledo's Historic Polish Village. Keith was my Village Solicitor in Waterville.(9/05)

Terrence Moore, MPA '94
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Master of Public Administration degrees from the University of Illinois, as well as graduate certificates from Florida Atlantic University and the University of Virginia. I am currently serving my fourth year with the city of Deerfield Beach, Florida. I am newly married (August, 1998) to the former Ms. Junko Jackson, an educator at Parkway Middle School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. My career aspiration is to become City Manager, with hopes of eventually branching into private sector management. (1/99)

I was appointed by the City Council to the position of City Manager of Sebastian, Florida (population 20,000) on June 9, 1999. Before relocating to Sebastian, I served as Assistant City Manager of Deerfield Beach, Florida (population 60,000), situated along the Atlantic Ocean coast, northeast Broward County, Florida. A native of Chicago, Illinois, I hold both a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Masters of Public Administration degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago, as well as postgraduate certificates from Florida Atlantic University and the University of Virginia. Previous professional experience includes positions with municipal governments of Chicago and Peoria, Illinois. (1/00)

The City Council of the City of Las Cruces, New Mexico is pleased to announce the unanimous selection of Sebastian, Florida City Manager Terrence Moore to the position of City Manager of Las Cruces, New Mexico. As city manager, Mr. Moore will serve as the organization's chief executive officer, reporting to the elected City Council who functions as the agency's board of directors. The City of Las Cruces employs over 1,100 men and women in ten line departments, and has an annual total funds budget of nearly $200 million.

After nearly six years of service to the City of Sebastian, Mr. Moore's resignation from his current post becomes effective Friday, February 4, 2005 to accommodate his scheduled first day at Las Cruces City Hall Monday, February 14, 2005. He leaves Sebastian as a responsive and high performance local government entity, with a solid track record of implementing productive and progressive financial management, urban planning, project administration and grant procurement initiatives. Respectively, the community is now one of the fastest growing cities in the State of Florida. His leadership has also yielded recent accomplishments such as the construction and dedication of the recently completed ten acre Sebastian Municipal Complex, a project that notably features the community's first fully functional city hall building, as well as an expanded Sebastian Police Department headquarters facility. In addition, the City of Sebastian has enjoyed a successful citywide recovery from two major hurricanes that adversely impacted the community a few months ago. (1/05)
