Morillo, who has worked for Monrovia for nine years, resigned effective Tuesday to become senior assistant city attorney in San Bernardino. His former law partner, Douglas D. Barnes, will serve as interim city attorney indefinitely, assuming Morillo’s $3,600 monthly retainer and hourly fees for litigation.
