The Eureka City Council is scheduled to meet in closed session May 27 to discuss the city manager position.

The 3 p.m. meeting comes one week after the council voted 4-0, with Councilmember Heidi Messner absent, to accept the resignation of Dean Lotter, who served in the position for just four months.

Lotter was placed on administrative leave May 1, the reason for which has not been released by the city. The terms of his separation are expected to be made public soon. Read more here.

City Clerk Pam Powell, a longtime city employee, is currently serving as acting city manager.

Kimberly Wear is the assistant editor of the North Coast Journal.
