Coalinga City Manager Marissa Trejo has been appointed to the same position in Lemoore. She was hired in a unanimous vote by the city council on July 2.
“I am extremely pleased to be bringing to our City organization someone with the depth of experience and history of success that Marissa brings to Lemoore”, said Mayor Patricia Matthews in a news release. “She brings proven knowledge and leadership to our City, hopefully for many, many years to come.”
Trejo is a fourth-generation Lemoore resident. She was born and raised in the Kings County city.
She also has extensive experience in local government. She began her career in 2004, working as an employment & training worker for the county. She was hired as a human resources analyst for the City of Coalinga in 2006 and promoted to City Manager in 2015.
“I love Lemoore. It is home and always will be, but I also love Coalinga, the City Council, the staff and the community,” Trejo said. “However, I know if I leave Coalinga, it will keep moving forward. The team in Coalinga will continue doing great things with or without me and that is a wonderful position to be in.
“I feel that my talents could truly benefit the City of Lemoore and then both cities that I love win. Lemoore has a lot of potential and there are many opportunities to make Lemoore an even better place to work, live and do business and I am excited to be able to help Lemoore move forward alongside its own great Council, staff and community.”
