Assistant City Manager Bill Murphy, who was serving as the interim city manager since Jim Thompson left, unexpectedly retired Tuesday.
“The time has come for me to move my 32-year career to a close here in Scottsdale, and notifying you that I will be retiring from my position as your acting city manager immediately,” Murphy wrote to the city council in an email this afternoon.
Assistant City Manager Greg Caton will take over the city manager’s duties during tonight’s city council meeting. The council has added an item to the agenda to discuss how to move forward.
