Oceanside City Manager Jonathan Borrego announced Thursday he will leave the job Dec. 18 after nine years with the city.<\/p>\n
Borrego recently was named the finalist for the position of Anaheim city manager, and the Anaheim City Council is expected to consider an employment agreement for Borrego on Tuesday, according to an Oceanside news release.<\/p>\n
\u201cLeaving is a hard decision, and I\u2019ll be forever grateful that I was afforded the opportunity to support the City and its residents during such a dynamic time in Oceanside\u2019s history,\u201d Borrego said in the news release.<\/p>\n
\u201cOceanside is a proud community with deep history and its community members are very much engaged in civic affairs,\u201d he said.\u00a0 \u201cResidents here show up, speak up, and have high expectations of the City\u2019s elected and appointed leaders.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m proud to say that the City\u2019s leadership lives up to these expectations and recent resident polls suggest that the overwhelming majority of residents are either satisfied or very satisfied with the level of service they receive,\u201d Borrego said. \u201cSuch opinions are a reflection of the hard work and dedication that staff and our City Council provide every day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Oceanside Mayor Esther Sanchez said Borrego has served the city well.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnder his leadership, Oceanside opened and expanded its first homeless shelter, preserved the historic Americanization School for use by the Crown Heights neighborhood as a community center, launched the innovative RE:BEACH project, completed the Fire Station 1 reconstruction, and advanced designs for a new park at El Corazon,\u201d Sanchez said in the news release.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe leaves the City with a strong leadership team, and residents can expect services to continue without interruption,\u201d she said. \u201cThe City Council is grateful for his service.\u201d<\/p>\n
Borrego was hired in Oceanside in September 2017 as development services director, the release states. He was promoted to deputy city manager in 2019, and was unanimously appointed city manager in August 2022.<\/p>\n
During his tenure the city advanced its general plan update, opened a Pure Water recycling facility, strengthened affordable housing and homelessness outreach services, and facilitated the opening of the Seabird and Mission Pacific beachfront resort hotels.<\/p>\n
The Oceanside City Council will schedule a closed session meeting to discuss the appointment of an interim city manager, it states. The city anticipates conducting a national recruitment for a permanent city manager.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Oceanside City Manager Jonathan Borrego announced Thursday he will leave the job Dec. 18 after nine years with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":519726,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164,133261,4194,199099,46727,199098],"class_list":["post-519725","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news","tag-city-manager-position","tag-job","tag-jonathan-borrego","tag-oceanside-city-council","tag-oceanside-city-manager"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/519725","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=519725"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/519725\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/519726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=519725"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=519725"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=519725"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
