Steve Solomon, a longtime city manager for several California cities, will take over as interim city manager for Orinda, the Orinda City Council decided Jan. 10.

Solomon was hired to replace the departing Janet Keeter, who has served more than 11 years in the position. Because Salomon is not available until Feb. 21, Keeter has postponed her retirement to accommodate his start date.

Salomon has had a successful career in local government spanning over 40 years. He has served as city manager and as interim city manager of cities including Hercules, Albany, Watsonville, Visalia, Brentwood and Benicia. In his 17 years as city manager of Visalia, his emphasis was on economic development, capital improvements, downtown revitalization, fiscal stability and staff development.

Salomon has a master's in City and Regional Planning from Ohio State University, with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering with an emphasis on transportation and public works from the University of Cincinnati. He has served in leadership positions within the California Redevelopment Association, Contra Costa County City Managers Group, South San Joaquin Valley Division League of California Cities - City Managers' Department, and is a member of the International City/County Management Association.

The period for recruiting services to submit proposals to recruit a new, permanent city manager closed on Jan. 24. Once the council reviews the proposals and selects a firm, the recruitment process for a permanent city manager will begin.
