"Most important, he has mastered the details of the city’s finances, indeed better than his two opponents who currently sit on the council, Mayor Dave Hudson, who has served on the council for 25 years, and Councilwoman Sabina Zafar, who is finishing her first term on the council.

Govindarao’s executive-management experience has shaped his thoughtful approach to how the city should recruit for a city manager in a balanced and even-handed way that allows for some community input but recognizes the council is ultimately responsible for the choice."
