Mr. Baenziger:
Please accept my application for the position of City Manager with the City of Satellite Beach. With
seventeen years of experience managing small, coastal communities, I am eager to take on this new
challenge.
I have been very fortunate to have several positions with great communities. I have developed
specialized knowledge of the challenges coastal communities face, I am strong on project management
and have an effective style for working with and developing employees. In looking at where I want to
develop new skills, I feel that the opportunities associated with the Gulf Coast have the most to offer
me. I am particularly interested in the challenges of working with larger projects, with more
complicated outcomes, with diverse and varied stakeholders.
For the past six years I have served as the Manager for the Village of Bald Head Island and during that
time accomplished many important projects. Key among them are the creation of the Public Safety
Department from merging the previous fire/medic and police departments for a significant savings to
the community and the expansion of our wastewater treatment facility, including moving to re-use
quality effluent. This position has allowed me to develop my skills in management of large, politically
sensitive projects, while also expanding my background in crisis/emergency management. These
experiences, coupled with a combined 17 years of experience in municipal government, prepare me well
to take on the larger challenges of a city such as Satellite Beach.
I am certain that my proven track record in management, commitment to customer service and
excellent project management skills will be of great value to Satellite Beach. I have a broad repertoire of
skills across all areas – communication, executive leadership, strategic planning, finance, tourism,
disaster relief, and community relations.
I look forward to discussing with you how I can join the team at the City of Satellite Beach.
Sincerely,
Calvin R. Peck, Jr.
