Montijo Takes Cut As Deputy City Manager In Scottsdale
Montijo and two colleagues reportedly accepted minor salary reductions with Nemetz Harris and Bray, while Montijo faced about a $1,000 monthly pay cut from roughly $25,000 per year. Named last March as one of three deputy city managers by Dale C. Carter, Montijo reports to the city manager with several program directors under him. He arrived in 1971 as a National Urban Fellow after earning a master’s in urban studies from Occidental College, then returned to Scottsdale as assistant to the city manager. Montijo, with a bachelor’s from Arizona State, has worked as a San Francisco area management consultant for the U.S. Office of Education, the Justice Department, and several states, and says he is exploring new employment options but has not accepted any offer.
