Council to pick next city manager tonight

By: The Californian | Tuesday, October 9, 2007 1:02 AM PDT ∞

MURRIETA -- The City Council will hold a closed-session meeting today (Tuesday) to select Murrieta's next city manager.

The council is expected to pick from two finalists, both of whom work in Southern California, officials said.

Both are "heavy hitters" in local government, Mayor Doug McAllister said last week.

Although the council members are expected to make their choice tonight, they may not announce the selection until later this week -- once a contract has been negotiated, McAllister said.

The council meets at 3 p.m. at City Hall, 26442 Beckman Court.

As long as the person is saving our city money, bringing in competent resources and luring in profitable businesses. Anything will be an improvement ... This is a chance for the city to shine or fall flat on its face. We shall see.-

He says he "streamlined" the executive staff, but all he did was dump some good people at the direction of Rick Gibbs, the consummate control freak. Other experienced and talented employees are applying elsewhere because of the hostile attitude this council projects to them. Someone the other day said that Gibbs is trying to be the city manager instead of a councilmember. Thank you Rescue Murrieta for this entire mess.
