Longtime Escondido City Attorney Jeffery Epp has unanimously been named city manager of Escondido, the City Council announced at its Wednesday meeting.
Epp replaces Graham Mitchell, who served as city manager for just over a year until resigning for personal reasons in October. Mitchell stayed on until early March at the council’s request. Epp has been the acting city manager since then.
Mayor Sam Abed Thursday said more than 100 applications were received for the job but the council decided to go with what they knew was already working.
“We have been watching closely the performance of the interim city attorney and city manager,” Abed said. “The entire council believes their performance has exceeded our expectations.”
