Mark Christensen - City Manager, Saratoga Springs, UT 801-766-9793
In 2002 Mr. Christensen replaced Mr. Hildebrandt as City Manager for Washington Terrace.
Since then they have interacted through the Utah City Managers Association (UCMA) and
shared information as colleague. Mr. Christensen has considerable respect for Mr. Hildebrandt
and the work he has accomplished.
The Washington Terrace staff loved working for Mr. Hildebrandt. Each department head spoke
highly of him and only had good comments to make about their time together. Mr. Hildebrandt
was also well received in the community.
When Mr. Christensen arrived in Washington Terrace he found the City on solid ground, both
financially and organizationally. The City’s policies and plans were well defined and
established. Obviously Mr. Hildebrandt was a strategic thinker. He is the type of manager who
tells people what they need to hear, not necessarily what they want to hear.
Mr. Hildebrandt left Washington Terrace after an election which resulted in a new Council being
voted into office. The new group on Council decided it wanted to hire its own City Manager
rather than retain the person who was associated with the previous Council.
Mr. Christensen has no doubts concerning Mr. Hildebrandt's abilities as a City Manager. He is
more than capable and qualified, and should be highly considered as a candidate for such a
position.
