Newport to pick new city manager
The Newport Beach City Council will hold a special meeting Tuesday to finalize its pick for a new city manager.
The council will meet behind closed doors at 3:30 p.m. to discuss the appointment and then reconvene in open session to vote on an employment agreement with the new city manager.
The city first narrowed a field of 50 applicants down to seven. The City Council then interviewed the top seven applicants for the job last week.
City Manager Homer Bludau, 63, announced earlier this year that he was ready to retire after 10 years with the city. Bludau is slated to celebrate his retirement at a gala dinner at the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel & Spa on Sept. 10.
