A city council in Ventura County which fired its city manager has appointed its assistant city manager to temporarily fill the post.
The Thousand Oaks City Council fired Scott Mitnick last week, without detailing the specifics for the action.
Assistant City Manager Andrew Powers was named interim city manager this week, while the city council looks at what it wants to do on a permanent basis. Powers joined the city’s staff in 2007 as its public information officer, and was upped to Assistant City Manager in 2013.
