Ex-Seal Beach Aide Loses Lawndale Job
Daniel P. Joseph, former assistant city manager in Seal Beach, has been fired as Lawndale city manager after less than 6 months on the job.
A three-member majority on the Lawndale City Council demanded his resignation during a closed-door session of the council that ended at 1 a.m. Friday. Joseph, 38, ran afoul of the council in August by attempting to oust a planning director who had the support of the council majority.
Joseph served 8 years in Seal Beach government, departing as assistant city manager in May to take the Lawndale job.
