Jeffrey L. Durbin
<br />ICMA Credentialed Manager
<br />A dedicated, creative, innovation -oriented manager who believes in the spirit of public service and
<br />embraces change and opportunity. Establishing positive relationships throughout the community,
<br />embracing a good sense of humor, and leading with an approachable and honest management style are
<br />important components of my character. I set high expectations, but find realistic ways to achieve success.
<br />Frisco, Colorado Interim Town Manager April -August 2021
<br />As Interim Town Manager, my role was to establish stability during the transition period, to facilitate
<br />continued implementation of capital projects and programs, to ensure that the organization continued to
<br />provide a high level of service and to implement policy objectives established by Town Council.
<br />Frisco has 250 employees and a total Budget of approximately $30,000,000.
<br />Fraser, Colorado Town Manager 2004-2020
<br />During my tenure, Fraser confronted many challenges and experienced great strides in improved levels
<br />of service, efficiency, accountability, and integrity. The organization included Administration, Finance,
<br />Planning, Public Works (streets, water, wastewater collections, open space, and facilities), Wastewater
<br />Treatment Plant, Police Department (including municipal court) and Building Department (48 total FTE).
<br />Highlights of my accomplishments in Fraser include the following:
<br />• Prepared and managed the Municipal Budget that included General Fund, Water Fund,
<br />Wastewater Fund, Joint Facilities Fund, Capital Equipment Replacement Fund, Capital Asset
<br />Fund, Debt Service Fund, Restricted Revenue Fund, and the Cozens Ranch Open Space Fund
<br />(2020 Budget is $18,790,000). Established an effective financial management approach for the
<br />organization based upon a high degree of transparency, efficiency, and accountability.
<br />• Despite facing three periods of significant revenue declines, long range fiscal planning and
<br />effective financial management led to increased reserve funds meeting reserve targets.
<br />Additionally, we've completed upgrades to all public facilities, provided for implementation of new
<br />programs and productivity gains, and increased levels of service across all departments.
<br />• Implemented an Asset Management Program and developed multi -year Capital Improvement
<br />Plans and funding plans for all streets, water systems, wastewater collections systems, and the
<br />wastewater treatment plant. Currently working development of a new Public Works Facility.
<br />• Brought over $12,000,000 in grant revenues into the community.
<br />• Implemented emergency preparedness planning and training and successfully managed severe
<br />flooding, high water conditions, three wildfires, and the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic.
<br />• Established the Fraser Winter Park Police Department, prior to which the community relied on the
<br />County Sheriff for law enforcement services. 2020 Marks the 15-year anniversary of the
<br />department.
<br />• Completed dissolution of the Fraser Sanitation District and incorporated those operations with the
<br />Town of Fraser to provide for more efficient and effective service to our residents and customers.
<br />The community had been struggling with this matter for almost 20 years.
