San Bernardino City Manager Rob Field has announced his resignation.
Field announced his decision during a closed session before Wednesday’s city council meeting, Councilman Theodore Sanchez said.
Six council members – Councilman Ben Reynoso was absent – accepted Field’s resignation, which came after the third of three closed meetings in which Field’s job performance was evaluated.
Field, who reportedly earned $295,332 annually, worked for Riverside County before San Bernardino hired him in September 2020 to be its chief administrator. He did not comment on his decision to step down, which is scheduled to take effect Jan. 16.
The council expects to hold a closed session Dec, 14 to discuss appointing an interim city manager and finding Field’s permanent replacement, Sanchez said.
