City Manager Valerie Lemmie has appointed two Dayton administrators to top positions at Cincinnati City Hall.

        Rashad M. Young, named assistant city manager, and Eileen Enabnit, tapped as director of the Transportation and Engineering Department, both worked with Ms. Lemmie when she was city manager in Dayton.

        They are among the first administrative appointments Ms. Lemmie has made since she was sworn in April 2.

        Mr. Young, 25, will have the No. 3 administrative position at City Hall, coordinating special projects. A 1998 graduate of the University of Dayton, he started working for the Dayton city manager as an intern at age 18.

        Ms. Lemmie said Mr. Young “has a tremendous amount of organizational and development experience, especially for his young age.”

        Mr. Young takes over for David Rager, who will return to his previous job as Water Works director. Mr. Young starts June 10 and will make $103,000 a year.

        Ms. Enabnit, 49, will be the director of the Department of Transportation and Engineering. She is special projects manager in Dayton, and has a background in planning, urban design and landscape architecture.

        The current director, John F. Deatrick, is retiring to take a similar post in Washington, D.C. Ms. Enabnit starts July 1 and will make $96,000 a year.

        Ms. Lemmie also informed City Council of two internal appointments Wednesday.

        Bill Moller, the assistant finance director, will become finance director, a job he has held on a temporary basis for six months.

        S. Greg Baker, the former safety director, will take on the title of executive manager of police relations. He will be responsible for implementing reforms of the police department mandated by an agreement with the U.S. Justice Department.

        Tim Riordan, the acting deputy city manager, will remain in that position for the time being, she said.

        The appointments were generally well received by City Council, with the exception of Councilman James R. Tarbell.

        “I just don't want people to start calling us Dayton South. That's all,” Mr. Tarbell joked.
