Ms. Wilson will succeed Interim Director of Finance Misty Cheng, who was hired following the departure of Ronnie Campbell, who resigned in May, 2016 to become the Chief Financial Officer of Metrolink. “We have been very happy with Misty’s services during this interim period,” said Mayor Mike Morgan, “We were really lucky to find her between Finance Director assignments – I don’t think we could have done better for an Interim Finance Director.”
