Ron Bradley Is Named Oceanside City Manager
The Oceanside City Council voted unanimously Wednesday to name a veteran administrator as its city manager.
Ron Bradley, 48, will assume the $90,000-a-year post May 9.
A native of Detroit, Bradley has been La Mesa’s city manager since 1980. Before that, he was that city’s finance director for eight years.
A former police officer in El Centro, Bradley has a bachelor’s degree in business administration from San Diego State University. He also attended the executive management program at the UCLA management school, as well as a management program at Harvard University.
Bradley, who is married and has two grown sons, succeeds William O. Talley, a former top administrator in Anaheim who had served as Oceanside’s interim city manager after Suzanne Foucault’s forced resignation in September after a series of clashes with council members.
