Tuesday evening, August 25, in Executive Session, Fillmore City Council voted 5-0 to offer the position of Fillmore City Manager to Yvonne Quiring, of Lathrop, CA. An agenda notice was posted on the city’s website Wednesday morning announcing an open forum meeting, according to Councilmember Laurie Hernandez. Hernandez stated that the position was offered to Quiring, and she accepted, pending salary and benefit discussion at the Friday meeting. Quiring will be offered a standard International City Managers Association contract “revised to fit our city government,” stated Hernandez.
Quiring has 22 years experience in municipal government, including 17 years in Fresno, two years in Stockton, and three years in Lathrop, as Assistant City Manager from April 2005 to January 2007, and City Manager from June 2007 to October 31, 2008, when council accepted her offer of resignation, with a 3-2 vote. Quiring’s run as Lathrop City Manager was not always a smooth one. In February 2008, the Service Employees International Union, Local 1021, sent a letter to the city voicing displeasure with Quiring and the management staff of the Community Development Department.
The public is welcome to attend the public meeting at Fillmore City Hall chambers, 2 p.m., Friday, August 28th.
