The City of Rochester Hills is pleased to announce that Joe Snyder has been appointed Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective immediately. Mr. Snyder has been acting as the city’s interim Chief Financial Officer since June of this year, and replaces Keith Sawdon who retired after 30 years in public finance.

I look forward to continuing the financial success of Rochester Hills into the future.”
As CFO, Snyder will be responsible for all city finance operations including the Assessing, Fiscal, Treasury, and Budget departments.

“Over the years Joe’s strong work ethic and innovative leadership have always made us proud “states Mayor Bryan K. Barnett, who made the appointment. “I am confident he will build upon the City’s strong financial position through strategic management, and forward-thinking leadership.”
