Retired administrator to fill interim post while San Joaquin County searches for replacement
Retired San Joaquin County Administrator Manuel Lopez will pick up the mantle once more as an interim while the county searches for someone to fill the role permanently.
The county s Board of Supervisors voted 3-2 at its meeting Tuesday to approve a contract hiring Lopez to temporarily assume the role he previously held for more than 10 years.
Monica Nino, who replaced Lopez as county administrator when he retired in 2013, tendered her resignation effective Jan. 1 for the same post in Contra Costa County. Lopez will serve as the interim county administrator until Nino s replacement is found.
