Patrick Heisinger has been named as Redwood City’s next assistant city manager, effective March 11, City Manager Melissa Stevenson Diaz said Thursday.
The decision came after a highly competitive recruitment process, highlighting Heisinger’s extensive public administration and leadership background, the city said in a news release.
In his new role, Heisinger will oversee land use and development within the city, including responsibilities over the community development and engineering and transportation departments and the economic development and housing divisions. He will also manage city-owned properties and assist in strategic initiatives alongside the City Manager’s Office. Heisinger’s efforts will support the City Council, staff, and community partners in advancing the city’s strategic goals and priorities.
Heisinger holds graduate degrees in public administration and education, an undergraduate degree in international relations, a California real estate broker’s license, and several certificates related to real estate, finance, and leadership development.
His annual salary is set at $272,500.
Before Heisinger was appointed assistant city manager, Redwood City had named Amanda Anthony as the new economic development manager. Anthony, who holds a Master of Public Policy from the University of Chicago and has a background in program leadership and economic development, is tasked with driving the city’s economic growth and resilience.
Anthony’s prior experience includes roles such as a performance management consultant for Chicago Public Schools and San Mateo County program director at the Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center.
Notably, she currently serves as the vice president of the South San Francisco Unified School District board. Taking over from Simon Vuong, who left on August 11, 2023, Anthony’s appointment fills a critical role, with her annual salary set at $175,000.
Following Anthony’s appointment, Heisinger stepped in as interim assistant city manager last August, temporarily overseeing economic development in Vuong’s absence until his own recent appointment.
