The California bullet train project is going through one of its biggest personnel upheavals in years, several months after Gov. Gavin Newsom vowed he would be “getting rid of a lot of consultants.”
Brian Kelly, the rail authority’s chief executive officer, said in an interview Thursday that he could not comment on three specific management moves The Times has learned about, but said some are designed to address the project’s multiple challenges.
Roy Hill, deputy chief operating officer and WSP’s top executive in Sacramento, is absent from the project. The Fair Political Practices Commissioninto allegations that Hill had a sizable investment in a company in which he co-signed a contract modification. The agency has since expanded that review into a formal investigation, which has not been previously reported.
Separately, the rail authority last week removed Kristina Assouri, the bullet train agency’s director of real property and another WSP employee. In addition, the rail authority earlier this week reassigned William Grimsley, who was serving as an acting or interim director in the Central Valley, according to two rail agency officials who asked for confidentiality because they are not authorized to speak to the news media. The move follows what insiders describe as a heated staff meeting in Fresno. Kelly said Grimsley remains an employee.
