Scott Baker moves to Pleasanton job

Scott Baker, Los Gatos director of parks and public works, is moving to the Big City--well, a bigger city, anyway.

Baker has accepted
the position of deputy director of public works for the city of Pleasanton, but he will continue to live in Los Gatos.

Friends and co-workers last week honored Baker with a farewell party and roast at C.B. Hannegan's. Baker was commended for his role in the town's recovery following the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake and saving the Berry Farm house, now used as the town's service center. Baker
has worked with the town for some 10 years.
