The Alameda City Council has postponed the appointment of Gerry Beaudin as city manager to May 5, citing new information received late Tuesday. - Councilmember Greg Boller made the motion to delay, stating the recruiter provided new details for closed session discussion.
- Mayor Marilyn Ezzy Ashcraft was the only councilmember to vote against the postponement, citing lack of awareness. - Beaudin, currently Pleasanton city manager, would receive a salary increase and benefits if approved.
The delay does not reflect on Beaudin's qualifications, according to Boller, and the council will discuss the matter in closed session before the final vote.
