My sources last week were right.

The top city official rumored to be leaving La Puente is Carol Cowley, the city manager.

And her departure has been confirmed. Cowley is retiring Sept. 30. Looks like she’ll be serving as a consultant for about two months after that, likely until the city can hire someone new.

Cowley  joins in on the mass exodus of San Gabriel city managers we’ve seen in the last week. I got this press release from the city just moments ago:
