Acting City Manager John Palmier and multiple council members paid tribute to Bass at the Chandler City Council meeting on Aug. 14.

The departure matters because Bass oversaw or contributed to a string of recreation and park projects and programs that city officials said broadened access to amenities across Chandler. \"You are truly an inspiring leader,\" said staff member Tad during a recognition presentation that summarized Bass's six years with Chandler and his work on projects including Veterans Oasis Park expansion, the Tumbleweed Recreation Center expansion and several neighborhood park renovations.

Under Bass's leadership, staff said Chandler advanced capital work on Boston Street and Wall Street improvements, the ULI AZTAP study designation for Southside Village as a conservation district, and affordable housing projects such as deals on McQueen and the planned Haven project. Bass joined Chandler in July 2019 as community services director and was promoted to deputy city manager in January 2022, according to remarks at the meeting.

Council members and staff described Bass as a steady behind-the-scenes manager who combined project knowledge with hands-on community engagement. \"You made Chandler a better place,\" Councilmember (last name) said during remarks recognizing Bass's work connecting parks, libraries, recreation programs and special events. Bass himself closed the recognition by thanking council and staff: \"It's not awkward or anything. I feel like I just attended my funeral,\" he said, drawing laughter before offering gratitude for teamwork and opportunities to learn.

Acting City Manager John Palmier told the council that the city will announce plans to replace Bass the following morning and that the process was an internal promotional one with 10 qualified candidates under consideration. No formal personnel action was taken at the Aug. 14 meeting; the recognition was ceremonial.

The city listed Bass's official last day as Aug. 22 and the new role's start date was described during remarks as in early September. Council members encouraged residents and staff to join in thanking Bass for six years of service and to follow the city for the forthcoming replacement announcement.","Deputy City Manager Andy Bass, who oversaw parks, recreation and several capital projects in Chandler, will leave the city Aug. 22 to become executive director of the South Suburban Park and Recreation District in the Denver area. Council and staff honored him at the Aug. 14 meeting.","actionData","errors"]
