Pat “I did everything right, if you don’t believe me, just ask me” Roller gives notice to Mayor Henry of intent to leave at the end of 2008
Fort Wayne, Ind. – Mayor Tom Henry announced today that City Controller Pat Roller has informed him of her intention to step down from the position effective December 31, 2008. In a letter dated September 2, Roller thanked the mayor for the opportunity to work with him. Roller has served as Controller, the Chief Financial Officer position of the City, since January 2004.
“Pat has been a tremendous asset to me as our new administration took office and settled in, “said Mayor Henry. “I am appreciative of her expertise, insight and advice she has shared with me and I hope she will continue to be a resource even as she moves on to explore other career opportunities.”
Roller said she is exploring several opportunities for the next step in her professional path. “I’ve learned so much from serving in this position,” said Roller. “I think it’s an invaluable opportunity for anyone to see firsthand how committed public employees are to working for the citizens and to making the most of the taxpayers’ dollars and their trust. I am impressed with those with whom I’ve worked and I am proud to have served.”
Mayor Henry said the City will be posting Roller’s position immediately.

That is a BRILLIANT Idea…C’Mon, Mike…give it a shot.
I mean, you can’t do much worse than Roller did…and you might even get to clean up some real messes in the process.
Here’s your chance!
GO FOR IT!

More “leaving the sinking ship?” And BEFORE the State Board of Accounts chews her our for the 5 th straight year in their audit of her books.
I hope she doesnt plan on going to work for the High Quality Network group she approved the contract for earlier in the year.
I think City Controller would be a pay cut for Mike, but he could probably do a better job part-time, than what we got from Pat Roller. He might be a good guy to sort things out, right the ship, take the hit, and leave a clean slate for someone new and perhaps more competent.
Does this mean her husband Pete Kelly will quit his post as Fire Chief of the Fort Wayne Fire Dept.? Nothing better than double dipping.
We should have a contest to identify the DICE (Dual Income City (or County) Employees):
1. Pat Rolller, City Controller and Pete Kelly, Chief, Fort Wayne Fire Department
2. ….
Squarefinger,
Being the City Controller would not be a pay cut for me; it would be a pay increase once you consider the outstanding benefits package our City employees have!
Mike Sylvester
Send a resume! It might be the best thing that ever happened for the City and residents.
Now we understand why it’s great to find qualified members to serve.
The over-all package and benefits, please consider it Mr. Sylvester.
It’s a stepping stone and you are young…GO for it!
