Is Aliso Viejo City Manager Leaving?

City Manager Mark Pulone will soon announce he is leaving Aliso Viejo for another Orange County city, a city official said Friday.

Pulone declined to comment about a possible new job in Yorba Linda, but said he may discuss the matter next week.

Pulone was hired to lead the city's relatively small staff in Nov. 2005. Prior to that, he worked as the assistant city manager of Lake Forest.

He was hired at age 39, making him one of the youngest city managers in the area.

During his tenure, Pulone led city staff as city leaders fought the United States Post Office over a major mail processing facility. The two-year standoff ended in 2009 when the recession shrunk the country's overall volume of mail.
