Willdan Senior Vice President Frank G. Tripepi, and
veteran Cerritos City Manager Art Gallucci during
the 2015 Holiday Season. Frank is a retired
Rosemead City Manager and he served as Interim
City Manager in La Puente. Art has been the
Cerritos City Manager since 1991. Art, who began
his career with the former Southeast Parks and
Recreation District, joined the Cerritos city staff in
1971 as the City's Recreation Superintendent
Our mission includes presenting entertaining
reading to those in the city management
trenches. Heaven knows that City Managers,
assistants and department heads get more
reading to do than an librarian in the Library of
Congress. We try to produce a product that
gives information about California's city
management people, and presents it in an
entertaining and interesting manner. Our
newsletters are available on the Trackdown
Management Services web page, so they can
always be referenced free of charge.
“Never leave a friend behind. Friends are all we have to
get us through this life--and they are the only things from
this world that we could hope to see in the next.”

New Kid in Town by the Eagles
It has been said that the Eagles were singing about city
managers in this song. Many of the lyrics fit well with the
city management craft.
"There's talk on the street, it's there to
Remind you, that it doesn't really matter
which side you're on
You're walking away and they're talking behind you
They will never forget you 'til somebody new comes
along…"
