Plymouth
City Council will be
interviewing candidates for the job of Interim City Administrator in closed
session on Saturday. Outgoing Interim City Administrator Gene Albaugh
says he’s retiring for the 7th, 8th, or 9th
time – he’s lost track. Albaugh’s been filling the interim position for 33
months – for the last two years, that’s been on a month-to-month basis. Albaugh
says at first he had trouble getting anyone to apply for the job, but after
working with the League of California Cities recruitment program was able to
encourage qualified applicants to apply for the job. Assuming the City Council
hires one of Saturday’s interviewees, the City of Plymouth could have a new Interim City Administrator in
place as soon as February 1st. Albaugh, who lives in Auburn,
will then give up his commute to Plymouth and spend his time as a Rotary
District leader, writing books, and playing senior softball.
