Yucaipa council appoints Jennifer Crawford interim city manager; affirms Cole Huber as city attorney
Summary
The Yucaipa City Council on April 14 appointed Jennifer Crawford as interim city manager in a 5-0 vote and confirmed Cole Huber will continue serving as city attorney, council members said during closed-session reports.
Jennifer Crawford was appointed interim city manager of the City of Yucaipa by a unanimous council vote on April 14. The council announced the appointment at the start of its regular meeting as part of closed-session reports.
The council also confirmed that Cole Huber will continue to serve as the city attorney. The council reported both actions as outcomes of closed-session deliberations.
Why it matters: A city manager transition affects who oversees daily municipal operations and implements policy directions established by the council. Naming an interim manager gives the city a lead executive while the council defines longer-term staffing plans and recruitment, if any.
What the council said and how it voted: The city attorney reported, “Jennifer Crawford has been appointed the interim city manager of the city of Yucaipa by a vote of 5 to 0, with council member Woolsey making the motion and council member Beaver making the second.” The same report noted the council voted 5-0 to continue with Cole Huber as city attorney.
Next steps: The council did not discuss additional personnel details or a timeline for a permanent appointment at the public meeting. The council and interim management will continue agenda work under the newly announced interim arrangement.
Ending: The appointments were reported by staff early in the April 14 meeting; councilors did not propose other closed-session reportable actions at that time.
