In a recent announcement, Norwalk Mayor Luigi Vernola confirmed the departure of Mike Egan from his position as City Manager. Egan has been serving as an Interim City Manager since April 28, 2025, following the departure of the previous permanent manager.
Egan's new role will be in La Palma, where he has been selected as the Interim City Manager, effective from April 28, 2025. The City Council of La Palma made this decision after conducting interviews.
Mike Egan brings over 30 years of local government experience to his new role. He is known for his previous roles as City Manager of Bellflower and Norwalk.
Egan's hourly rate in La Palma is $122.81, representing the annual salary of the City Manager divided by twelve months.

One of Egan's recent interim assignments was as the City Manager for the City of Artesia. After retiring in 2017, Egan has continued to support municipal operations through interim assignments.
