NEW: Taveras Taps Sepe as Director of Operations

Less than a month after senior executive advisor J.R. Pagliarini left City Hall to take a position with the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation (EDC), Providence Mayor Angel Taveras has found his replacement within his administration.

Taveras’ office announced today that Alan Sepe, formerly the acting director of public property, has taken a newly-created position as Director of Operations in the Mayor’s Office. Sepe will oversee the Department of Public Works, Parks and Recreation, Purchasing, Public Property and will be the administration’s primary point of contact with the Providence Water Supply Board.

Sepe will report to the Mayor’s Director of Administration and Acting Chief of Staff Michael D’Amico and the new position will reportedly not come as a new cost to the city as Taveras consolidated the Director of Operations and Director of Administration positions when he took office.
