Gary Lee Moore is the City Engineer of the City of Los Angeles. He leads the Bureau of Engineering that has a work force of more than 1,100 engineers, architects, surveyors and support staff and an annual operating budget of $126 million. As City Engineer, Mr. Moore currently oversees 650 active projects totaling $4 billion. He leads the Bureau of Engineering in design and construction of all public facilities such as fire stations, libraries, police stations, animal care facilities and the zoo. He is also responsible for projects involving parks, streets, wastewater treatment plants, sewers and storm drains and the regulation of private development affecting the public right-of-way.

Mr. Moore's mayoral appointment to City Engineer in 2003 coincided with the beginning of an extraordinary period of infrastructure expansion and upgrades in virtually every part of the 464-square mile city - to maintain the integrity of the public works infrastructure developed over the last 100 years and to ensure that adequate systems that protect public health and the environment are in place as the Los Angeles population of 4 million people continues to grow. The Bureau is managing annual capital construction expenditures of $500 million. This pace is anticipated to continue for the next several years.

Mr. Moore is closely involved with several projects that are expected to transform the face of Los Angeles. One of these is the Los Angeles River Revitalization Master Plan. Mr. Moore has worked closely with City decision-makers to commit to and fund a strategic master plan for a 32-mile river corridor. The 20-year program will convert Los Angeles to a vibrant riverfront city. Another is the $95 million Santa Monica Boulevard Transit Parkway -- a 2.5 mile transit and pedestrian corridor in the heart of Los Angeles' business sector. Mr. Moore also developed and directed a nationally-recognized and award-winning capital improvements project delivery benchmarking study with seven of the largest cities in the State of California. This study has helped maximize the City's fiscal responsibility and efficient use of public funds.

Mr. Moore's appointment as the leader of the Bureau of Engineering reflected two decades of technical, business and political acumen and a record of consensus-building leadership in landmark City programs. He has held positions of Deputy City Engineer, Principal Sanitary Engineer and others within the Bureaus of Engineering and Sanitation. He served as group leader for the Mayor's Blue Ribbon Task Force on Infrastructure in 2003. Between 1998 and 2001, Mr. Moore managed the $35 million Stormwater Management Program. He took the concept of diverting low flow stormwater runoff to treatment facilities from a demonstration project to an environmental protection policy. Mr. Moore obtained Los Angeles City Council approval of the Low Flow Diversion Policy in 2001, which was a turning point in the direction of the stormwater program. Mr. Moore also managed several of the projects of the nationally recognized Hyperion Treatment Plant expansion and upgrade program in the 1980s and 1990s.

Mr. Moore is a 1985 graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles with a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering. He completed the UCLA Anderson School of Management's Executive Program in 2001, studying research-based management strategies and tools to guide organizations.

He is a registered Professional Civil and Mechanical Engineer in California, has authored and co-authored many technical papers and has given numerous technical presentations at professional organizations.

Mr. Moore's awards reflect his commitment to many professional and personal interests. He received the 2007 Southern California Chapter of the Construction Management Association of America's Distinguished Owner Honoree and the 2006 Asian American Architects/Engineers Association's Community Enrichment Award for Defining Excellence. He has won awards from the City of Los Angeles Productivity Commission several times and received the Friends of the Los Angeles River's Merrill Butler Award for river restoration efforts and the Pasadena Museum of History's Outstanding Spirit Award.

In 2005, Mr. Moore was the President of the City and County Engineers Association and a member of the Southern California American Society of Civil Engineers' Infrastructure Task Force. He is a Director of the Women's Transportation Seminar; a Member Grade of Fellow of the Institute for the Advancement of Engineering; a Member of the American Public Works Association; and a Member of the Construction Management Association of America.

A native of Los Angeles, he is married to Chinsook Moore whom he met while both worked for the Bureau of Engineering. Mr. Moore is an avid fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
