“I am excited to appoint Mark to this critical position. The airport is undergoing transition as the city explores spaceport and tech corridor opportunities,” said City Manager Ty Lewis.
Mark has been with the city since 2014 and has a strong background in public works. “As the city embarks on a new era for the municipal airport, I am excited to lead the airport into the future while honoring the traditions of the last 49 years,” said Scandalis.
Scandalis is a graduate of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and prior to moving to Paso Robles was employed by the cities of San Luis Obispo and San Clemente.
Scandalis officially began his new duties on June 13.
