"When I came onto the job and started out, the loyalty was always there. But I think the citizens now, don't have as much respect or fear as we had back in the day," Moffatt said.

The county manager says they'll be conducting a nationwide search for Moffatt's replacement. He plans to retire in March or April, once his successor is selected.

He plans to spend his retirement with family, and wants to stay in Pittsburgh.
