Gilroy City Council Appoints Brad Kilger as Interim City Administrator

The Gilroy City Council convened on July 28, 2025, at 6:00 PM to address key administrative changes and conduct routine city business. The meeting began with the appointment of Brad Kilger as the interim city administrator, following the retirement of the previous administrator.

Council member Bracco made the motion to appoint Kilger, which received a second from council member Fugazi. A roll call vote confirmed the appointment with unanimous support, passing 6-0. Subsequently, the council adopted a resolution formalizing Kilger's appointment and authorizing Mayor Bozzo to execute the appointment agreement. This motion also passed with a 6-0 vote.

Following the administrative updates, the city administrator and city attorney provided their reports, both of which indicated no new information to share.

The council then moved into closed session to evaluate the performance of the city administrator, Jimmy Forba. However, it was noted that one of the two items scheduled for discussion was no longer necessary due to the recent appointment of the interim administrator. The meeting concluded with no public comments received before the council adjourned to closed session.

Overall, the meeting focused on a significant leadership transition within the city administration, with the council demonstrating a unified approach in their decision-making process.
