With a new administration set to take over after Mayor Adrian Fenty was defeated in the city's Democratic primary last month, Rubin sent a mass e-mail yesterday announcing he will vacate the position on Jan. 2.
"My current plan is to provide consultant services until I find a full time position that is a good fit for me," he said in the e-mail. "What a great opportunity that Mayor Fenty has provided and I will leave this great city without regret."
Council Chairman Vincent C. Gray -- who won the nomination --is expected to win next month's general election and will likely announce a transition team and national searches for other cabinet members next week, according to the report.
