NEWS ALERT: Roseville City Manager Resigns Effective Tuesday

Second update ( 4:25 p.m. Tuesday, May 14): 

The Roseville Council plans to meet at 5 p.m. Thursday (May 16) to consider appointing an interim city manager to replace Bill Malinen, who resigned effective today.

The special Council meeting is scheduled for 5 p.m. Thursday at Roseville City Hall, 2660 Civic Center Drive. The Council is also expected to begin the process for hiring a permanent successor to Malinen.

In an interview with Patch, Roseville Mayor Dan Roe said the Council is likely to appoint an interim manager from among the current administrative ranks at City Hall.

"I think that's the direction the Council want to go," Roe said. But who that interim appointee might be has not been determined, he added.  

First Update (2:17 p.m. Tuesday): 

The city of Roseville issued the following press statement about the departure of Manager Bill Malinen:

"Bill Malinen announced today that he will resign as Roseville’s City Manager effective May 14, 2013." 

Mayor Dan Roe said, "The City Council appreciates the work that Bill has done for Roseville since 2007. In recent discussions between council members and Bill, it became clear that a change was in the best interests of both him and the city. It was a mutual and amicable decision."

"It has been a privilege to serve the City of Roseville and its residents these past 6 years" said Malinen, “I am proud of our many accomplishments and the opportunity to work with so many dedicated and outstanding employees and citizens."

The Council and Malinen reached an agreement on the terms for his separation with the City and that agreement was approved by the Council on Monday night. The agreement is aimed at meeting the obligations of the City Manager's contract for severance and insuring that all potential legal issues have been addressed.

In the coming days and weeks, the City Council will take actions to appoint an Interim City Manager and outline a search process for Malinen’s replacement.
