Tempe appoints new city attorney

Posted

Tempe City Council appointed Eric C. Anderson as its new city attorney at its March 21 meeting.

Anderson has 29 years of legal experience, 16 of those in municipal law with the cities of Scottsdale and Chandler, a city release explained. His areas of expertise include real estate, planning and zoning, capital projects, water and wastewater, purchasing, utilities and more.

 “We are pleased to welcome Eric Anderson as its new city attorney. His nearly 30 years of legal experience will provide valuable insight and legal advice to our community,” City Manager Rosa Inchausti stated in the release.

Anderson attended law school at Arizona State University.  He is married with three adult children.

“Tempe is an innovative city with big ideas. I am eager to begin representing the community,” Anderson stated in the release.

Preceding Anderson in this role was City Attorney Sonia Blain, who was also recognized at the March 21 council meeting for her contributions to the city by the city manager and council members.

Blain has been with the city for eight years and had served as the city attorney for the last two years.

“Thank you for your friendship, the dedication to the people of this workforce, and as always a true public servant with the work ethic that you have exemplified to all of us, we will miss you,” Inchausti said at the meeting.
