The big news is our City Manager, Jim Lewis, is leaving us to become the City Manager of Atascadero. Jim has helped us make significant progress in several areas, and we will miss him greatly. Jim was the Assistant City Manager for Atascadero when we hired him over 10 years ago and he lives in Atascadero as well, so returning there is a good move for him.
The Council named Jorge Garcia as interim City Manager. Jorge is currently our Assistant City Manager. We will conduct a search for a new City Manager, and Jorge will be among the applicants.
