Consulting Firm Hired to Find New City Manager
The City Council has hired a consulting firm to help it find a replacement for City Manager Jim Morrison, who plans to go into semiretirement later this year.
The city has hired Sacramento-based John Shannon & Associates to conduct the search. City officials anticipate that it will take about five months to fill the city’s top job. Morrison has committed to staying with the city until the end of the fiscal year June 30.
Morrison, 59, has been the city manager for five years and has worked in city government for nearly 40 years. He said he no longer wants the day-to-day responsibilities of managing a city and will probably seek a part-time consulting job after he leaves El Segundo.
