The councilmembers praised Jovan Grogan’s qualifications and promised him a challenge.
Santa Clara will finally have a new city manager, bringing an end to the search for a replacement that began when his predecessor was fired a year ago amid controversy over her high salary.
Councilmember Suds Jain said the council had evaluated 34 applicants during their search and were impressed by Grogan’s qualifications, which include a bachelor’s degree in urban and regional studies and a master’s degree in regional planning from Cornell University.Councilmember Raj Chahal agreed, saying that he feels Grogan will be able to help the city cope with its $27 million deficit.
“San Bruno’s loss is our gain,” Hardy said. “[Grogan] was willing to come because he wants a challenge, and we smiled and said, ‘we’re Santa Clara, of course we’re a challenge.’” “I think Jovan is an incredible person — I think he’s got the intelligence, he’s got the smarts. He’s young, and that’s what I like. He’s got a lot of energy,” Becker said.
The council voted 4-2 to terminate Santana’s employment last February, citing a lack of confidence in her ability to do the job. Santana was fired several months after former city attorney Brian Doyle, who was fired under ambiguous circumstances that remain a point of contention among councilmembers in September 2021.
