“The City Council and staff are very sorry to see Ken leave. He has done an incredible job leading our City and leaves a legacy of accomplishments,” commented Mayor Frank Ferry.


“We wish him all the best in Burbank and in his future endeavors. He is a tremendous leader and will always have a place in our hearts in Santa Clarita,” added Ferry.
