Coachella City Council to Hold Special Closed Session on City Manager Appointment

The Coachella City Council will hold a special meeting tonight in closed session, with the primary focus being the appointment of a new city manager.

According to the agenda, the discussion will take place behind closed doors and comes after the city canceled its regularly scheduled public City Council meeting that was originally set for Wednesday.

Coachella has been in the process of searching for a new city manager since November, when current City Manager Bill Pattinson announced his retirement.

City officials have not indicated when a final decision may be made or when the appointment could be announced publicly. No other items are expected to be discussed during the special meeting.
