“Throughout the assessment center and interview process, Michele emerged as the clear choice,” said City Manager Mike Shellito. “Her leadership, technical knowledge of the electric industry and vision of success for Roseville Electric and our City distinguished her from all the other candidates”

Incoming City Manager Ray Kerridge, who starts on June 17, also was involved in the selection process and said, ‘I was impressed with Michelle’s leadership, vision, and customer-service approach. Those attributes are critical to ensuring the health and sustainability of Roseville Electric, which is integral the community’s long-term success.’

Roseville Electric, the City of Roseville’s publicly owned electric utility, began a nationwide search for a new utility director following the retirement of Tom Habashi in December 2009. The utility serves 53,000 customers and owns and operates a 160-megawatt natural gas electric generation plant. Roseville Electric has 130 employees and $130 million in energy sales in 2009.

Roseville Electric also partners with Environmental Utilities at the Roseville Utility Exploration Center to educate our customers in a high-tech, hands-on facility about new technologies and services that preserve our natural resources through conservation.
