棕榈泉市任命临时城市经理：James Vanderpool将于11月1日正式接掌市政
加利福尼亚州河滨县棕榈泉市（Palm Springs）市议会任命詹姆斯·「吉姆」·范德普尔（James "Jim" Vanderpool）为临时城市经理，接替即将退休的斯科特·斯泰尔斯（Scott Stiles）。范德普尔已于10月22日到任与斯泰尔斯交接，斯泰尔斯的退休于11月1日生效。
范德普尔有30多年城市管理经验：他曾任安纳海姆市（Anaheim）城市经理约五年多，管理约3,000名员工与约20亿美元预算，此前还担任布埃纳公园市（Buena Park）城市经理八年。
棕榈泉市长纳奥米·索托（Naomi Soto）在声明中表示，范德普尔的经验能在过渡期保持市政服务稳定。市议会已委托Bob Murray & Associates猎头公司开展正式城市经理的全国搜寻，预计需时四到六个月。
市议会10月28日的议程还包括审议范德普尔的聘用协议：协议拟自11月1日起生效，按加州公务员退休系统（CalPERS）退休人员返聘规则，以每小时156.24美元聘用，每财政年度最多960小时，上限约15万美元。
斯泰尔斯退休后，棕榈泉市将在临时城市经理带领下运作至正式人选到任。
Palm Springs, California: James Vanderpool Appointed Interim City Manager Ahead of Scott Stiles' November 1 Retirement
The City of Palm Springs in Riverside County, California, has appointed James "Jim" Vanderpool as interim city manager, succeeding Scott Stiles, whose retirement takes effect November 1. Vanderpool began work on October 22, overlapping with Stiles for the transition.
Vanderpool brings more than 30 years of municipal management experience. He served as city manager of Anaheim for more than five years, overseeing roughly 3,000 employees and a budget of about $2 billion, and before that was city manager of Buena Park for eight years.
Mayor Naomi Soto said in a statement that Vanderpool's experience will keep city services stable during the transition. The City Council has retained the search firm Bob Murray & Associates to run the national search for a permanent city manager, expected to take four to six months.
The council's October 28 agenda also included Vanderpool's employment agreement, which would take effect November 1 under California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) retired-annuitant rules at $156.24 per hour for a maximum of 960 hours per fiscal year, about $150,000 at the cap.
Palm Springs will operate under the interim city manager until the permanent appointment is made.
