The Irvine City Council has unanimously appointed Assistant City Manager Sean Crumby to serve as interim City Manager, effective July 7. The appointment was made at a special meeting today.
Crumby will step into the role following the departure of City Manager Oliver C. Chi, who was recently appointed as the next City Manager for the City of Santa Monica.

“I extend my gratitude to City Manager Oliver Chi for his outstanding leadership and commitment to Irvine over the past three and a half years,” Mayor Larry Agran said. “I am confident that Assistant City Manager Sean Crumby will do an excellent job advancing the City’s vision and priorities during this transition.”…
