Local News in Brief : City Manager Moves to Orange County
After only a year on the job, El Segundo City Manager Fred Sorsabal is resigning to become city manager in Mission Viejo in Orange County.
Sorsabal, 51, said he will start his new job April 24, replacing William Talley, who took a similar job with the city of Dana Point.
Sorsabal said his departure was not greatly influenced by the defeat last week of two local ballot measures that would have raised new revenues and bailed El Segundo out of a financial crisis. The city expects to have a general operating deficit of $1.6 million in fiscal 1989-90.
Rather, Sorsabal said, he looks forward to the challenge of managing a city that is only a year old. Mission Viejo, whose population of about 70,000 is more than four times that of El Segundo’s, became a municipality on March 31, 1988.
