Speaking of refugess from new mayoral administration (ie, Erica's thoughtful interview with former city budget director with Dwight Dively), former Team Nickels sustainability director Michael Mann announced today—his last day at city hall—that he's starting his own consulting firm, Cyan Strategies. The company will work on public-private partnerships to facilitate sustainability projects.

His firm's first client?

Mayor McGinn.

In a press release, Mann said: "With the Mayor’s team, we will  craft a plan for a public-private partnership to help lead the economic recovery through the building retrofit industry."
