Rob Braulik, assistant city manager, has announced his resignation, effective Dec. 12, to take a similar position with the city of Fairfield. The move will reduce Braulik’s commute considerably and he will be able to spend more time with his family.

Carlos Urrutia, Rocklin’s city manager, said that Braulok did an outstanding job as assistant city manager, advancing the city’s economic development efforts, enhancing public information and pursuing several “green” initiatives.

The city manager is considering several options for filling the vacancy.
