The longtime city manager for Paso Robles says he plans to retire at the end of the year. Jim app has served as the city's top administrator for nearly two decades.
"It has been said that one of life's greatest gifts is the opportunity to work hard at work worth doing," said App in a press release. "It has been an honor to work on behalf of the people of Paso Robles these past 25 years."
He said he made the announcement early, in order to give the City Council "ample time to find an able successor."
App said it's his intent to retire on December 30, 2015.
