Avondale City council voted Monday to hire a new city manager after an eight-month-long search following the firing of the previous city manager, Charles Montoya.
Cottonwood City Manager Ron Corbin has been chosen for the position. He will take over the role in November.
“The City Council and I were seeking someone with strong, steady leadership who understands and believes in our core purpose of making lives better for the residents and business community in Avondale,” said Mayor Kenn Weise. “Avondale has built great momentum over the past few years, and we are just getting started.”
