No permanent city manager in Covina, yet

Covina officials held a meeting earlier today to discuss the appointment of a full-time city manager. Nothing was finalized, though Mayor Walter Allen said he hoped to "come to a conclusion by Monday or Tuesday."

"We're still in deliberation," he said. "We had a positive meeting today on this issue and we hope to have something as early as the beginning of this coming week."

The position is temporarily being filled by former Pasadena City Manager Cynthia Kurtz.
