I will post the press release shortly. David has been appointed interim city manager after the current city manager resigned.

Press Release:

The City of Point Arena announced today that Philip Vince has resigned from his position as City Manager for the community. Vince began his career with the City in November, 2014 when he was recruited as the City’s first City Manager to manage the coastal city. At Tuesday night’s Special City Council meeting, the City Council accepted Vince’s resignation.
“We want to thank Phil for his service to the community and we wish Phil and his family all the best”, said Mayor Jim Koogle. Following the acceptance of Vince’s resignation, the City Council appointed David W. Tyson as Interim City Manager. Tyson, who served as the City’s Interim City Manager from May 2014 through Vince’s arrival in November, is no stranger to local government management. In his thirty-five years in the business, Tyson has served in managerial roles in the cities of Eureka and Arcata. “City staff and City Council are committed to the continued delivery of excellent and reliable services that residents and the business community have come to know and expect” said Tyson. There is no plan to veer off that course.
The City Council has made the recruitment of their next City Manager a top priority and they have instructed Tyson to begin this effort immediately. The City Council will be holding a Special City Council meeting on Wednesday, May 13, 2015, at 3:45 PM; to consider their recruitment options. Community members are encouraged to participate in this significant community discussion.
