Information regarding the City Auditor Search

The City Auditor Search Committee was composed of Councillor Azeem, Councillor Nolan, Councillor McGovern and myself, and we have met in executive session over the last two weeks to interview Mr. McCann and discuss his references. Please find attached to this communication his resume and cover letter. Mr.

McCann has been with the City of Cambridge since 2021 in the Auditing Department as the Manager of Fiscal Reporting, and prior to that held the position of Comptroller at the Massachusetts Port Authority for over a decade. He also previously worked at the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority and the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, both in high level fiscal management positions. Mr. McCann has prior experience at KPMG and holds knowledge on both sides of the fiscal auditing experience.

The Mayor will be calling a special meeting for the City Council members to publicly interview Mr. McCann, and for the body to deliberate whether a formal extension of an offer of employment should be made to this candidate. I am available to answer any questions the body may have. Thank you,

Alanna Mallon

Vice Mayor
