Former Danville Town Manager To Take Over As Pleasanton Interim City Manager

PLEASANTON, CA — Former Danville Town Manager Joe Calabrigo will serve as the interim city manager of Pleasanton starting Friday, according to a consent calendar item in Tuesday night’s agenda. Calabrigo, who retired in June 2025 after serving 32 years as Danville town manager, takes over for Gerry Beaudin, who leaves Pleasanton Friday to take over as Alameda’s city manager.

As interim city manager, Calabrigo will begin Monday, June 8, and earn $25,000 a month but no employment benefits, according to the employment contract posted to the Pleasanton agenda. His salary will be paid through the city’s General Fund.

Calabrigo began working with Danville in 1985, when he was hired as the town's chief of planning. He has also served as the town's transportation director, administrative services director, and assistant town manager. In 1993, the Danville Town Council appointed him town manager, the third person to hold this position since the town was incorporated in 1982. He was the longest continually serving city manager in the western United States, and the second longest serving in the nation.

Beaudin will take over as the city manager for Alameda, where he previously worked as assistant city manager from 2019 to 2022. He will earn $383,100, a $40,000 pay increase from Pleasanton.

“My decision to leave as City Manager was complicated because I care deeply about the people I work with and the Pleasanton community — we have done important work over the last 4 years, and I truly appreciate the partnership,” Beaudin said in an email shared with city staff obtained by Pleasanton Weekly. “I am particularly proud of the proactive, innovative, and impactful approach that has allowed us to reposition the city and community for a brighter future.”
