The City of Morro Bay has parted ways with its city manager.
Mayor Carla Wixom confirmed to community reporter Sophia Villalba that the city council voted 3-2 on Tuesday night to dismiss Yvonne Kimball without cause. Councilmembers Cyndee Edwards, Zara Landrum and Bill Luffee voted yes, while Mayor Wixom and Councilmember Jeff Eckles voted no.
Wixom did not provide additional information, stating the city is “not at liberty to discuss personnel issues.”
Kimball was not immediately reachable for comment Wednesday.
Kimball has been with the City of Morro Bay since August 2023. City officials at the time said Kimball’s appointment “was made following an extensive recruitment process.” She was one of two finalists among 41 candidates.
