Albany welcomes Paul Trumbino as public works director; council to consider naming city‑hall gallery for Gwen Marcase
Summary
Mayor Johnson introduced Paul Trumbino as Albany’s new public works director; Director Leane presented a resolution to name the city‑hall art gallery for local artist Gwen Marcase, with the item scheduled on Wednesday’s consent calendar and a Young Artist Showcase reception set for April 3.
Mayor Johnson introduced Paul Trumbino to the council and public at the start of the March 9 work session, describing him as the city’s new public works director and noting he recently arrived from Gley, Colorado. Trumbino spoke briefly to the council: "Appreciate the opportunity to be here... I'm very excited... Looking forward the team's been great. We're going to do great great work for everybody in the city," he said.
Later in the agenda, Director Leane presented a resolution based on a recommendation from the arts commission to name the city‑hall art gallery for Gwen Marcase, a local artist who has worked with the Boys & Girls Club, LBCC and painted the carousel. Leane said the arts commission vetted candidates and the council had previously signaled interest. The item is listed on Wednesday’s consent calendar for formal action; the arts commission is also holding a Young Artist Showcase with a reception on April 3.
Councilors indicated support during the briefing and asked staff to confirm calendar details for the reception. No formal vote on the gallery naming took place at the work session; the item will move forward on the consent calendar for the next council meeting.
