Trail’s CAO prepares for departure after 26 years of service

Trail BC - The City of Trail wishes to announce that its Chief Administrative Officer David Perehudoff will be leaving the Chief Administrative Officer/Chief Financial Officer position effective September 30, 2021. In his 26 years of service, Mr. Perehudoff has shown a singular devotion to the City through his strong work ethic along with a breadth of knowledge and experience which he brought to the leadership of the City’s workforce.

As a result of a Council Code of Conduct violation by a member of Council and a third party investigation that did not bring about a resolution between the parties, Council has decided to expedite a succession plan which will allow for Mr. Perehudoff’s earlier departure. Councillor Robert Cacchioni has accepted accountability for his conduct and has committed to taking steps to ensure a respectful workplace is upheld in the future.

Council has renewed its commitment to maintaining a respectful workplace environment and will commence a proactive search process to select a Chief Administrative Officer as soon as practical. In the interim, Mr. Perehudoff has agreed to continue providing support to the City for the prescribed period of time noted above.

“The City of Trail thanks Mr. Perehudoff for his 26 years of service, and we wish him all the very best in the future,” said Mayor Lisa Pasin. “He provided strong leadership and mentorship to the City’s workforce and demonstrated the highest standards of personal integrity.”
