Veteran civil and traffic engineer Wes Frysztacki has been picked by Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell to lead the city’s Department of Transportation Services.

The selection was one of a slew of new Caldwell cabinet members announced Tuesday afternoon. Caldwell, who was re-elected in November, began his second four-year term last month.

Frysztacki was president and CEO of Weslin Consulting Services, a transportation planning firm, from 1987 to 2016. In that capacity, he worked on Honolulu’s bus system, the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation’s rail project, transit-oriented development plans and the recently completed Complete Streets Manual, the city said in a press release. Before coming to Hawaii, Frysztacki served as director of transportation and regional planning for the Puget Sound Council of Governments.

Frysztacki begins March 1. He takes over from Acting Director Mark Garrity, who left at the end of 2016.

Jon Nouchi, a former deputy director of planning and environment for HART, was appointed deputy DTS director in December and will continue in that role. An urban planning and public transportation professional, he served as director of planning and service development for many years for Oahu Transit Services, operator of TheBus and Handi-­Van.

Heading the new Department of Land Management, created by Oahu voters in November via a City Charter amendment, will be Sandra Pfund, currently the city’s director of the Office of Strategic Development. First appointed to her current job in 2014, she led the city’s efforts to purchase and convert several properties now being used for affordable housing, Housing First and other initiatives to end homelessness.

Previously, Pfund was land development administrator for the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands and chief executive officer for the Aloha Tower Development Corp.

Susan Fernandez was named deputy director of the Department of Community Services. Fernandez previously worked as an administrator for Hilo Medical Center, Ka‘u Hospital and Hale Ho‘ola Hamakua. Prior to that, she was chief budget planning and management officer for the state Department of Human Services.

She begins Feb. 16 and replaces Barbara Yamashita, who left recently.

Gary Nakata continues as community services director.

Longtime Department of Planning and Permitting engineer Tim Hiu was named DPP deputy director. A 28-year veteran with the city, Hiu served for a time as Building Division chief. He was named acting DPP deputy director in January, replacing Art Challacombe, who retired.

Prior to working with the city, he was with Koga Engineering in Colorado.

Acting DPP Director Kathy Sokugawa will continue in that role until further notice.

Former state homelessness coordinator Marc Alexander was named the city’s executive director on housing. Most recently, Alexander was senior program officer and program director for the Hawaii Community Foundation, where he was responsible for creating and leading initiatives to address homeless programs and to update programs to support the elderly.

Alexander served as Gov. Neil Abercrombie’s homelessness coordinator from 2011 to 2012. A former priest, he was the equivalent of a chief operating officer for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Honolulu from 2006 to 2011. Alexander replaces Jun Yang, who left recently.

Ed Hawkins was named executive director of economic development for the city. He is president emeritus of the Japan-America Society of Hawaii and the Crown Prince Akihito Scholarship Foundation, and president of the Ehime Maru Memorial Association. A retired U.S. Air Force colonel, he was a career intelligence officer and foreign area officer. He replaces Nicole Velasco, who left at the end of 2016.

Besides DPP director, Caldwell has yet to name a new director of emergency services to replace Mark Rigg, who left at the end of last year.
