Capital Strategic Solutions (CSS) was engaged to provide management services to the Town of Holbrook’s Department of Public Works (DPW) in April 2024 while a search was underway for a new Director/Superintendent.
CSS Senior Project Manager and former Director of Water and Sewer John Deluca has been providing necessary management services to fill the vacancy and keep the DPW’s operations running smoothly.
“John has been instrumental in taking pressure off of our staff, providing direction, and prioritizing the daily workflow. Additionally, he assisted me with navigating state procurement laws for a vehicle purchase and was able to expend approved grant funding for a park renovation before the end of the fiscal year. Holbrook like many other communities is experiencing multiple vacancies in important roles and John’s presence has provided us with much needed stability.”
Holbrook has been without a DPW Director/Superintendent for nine months, affecting deadlines and contractor scheduling for major infrastructure projects.
“I have been collaborating with John handling day-to-day operations and his knowledge has been key to keeping our major projects on schedule while supporting our staff. He considers opinions, and sets expectations to meet necessary but realistic timetables.”
CSS has been able to provide the Town of Holbrook with an experienced manager with a specific skill set during a time of transition, supporting their dedicated staff while accomplishing goals and maintaining services to the public. CSS will continue to fill this vital role during the interim period until a new Director/Superintendent is hired and becomes acclimated.
