Yucaipa City Manager Chris Mann has resigned, effective March 31. The news came Tuesday, March 11 — one week after Mann was placed on administrative leave.
“The City Council expresses its appreciation for Chris Mann’s service and wishes him well in his future endeavors,” the city said in a statement. “While his role as City Manager will conclude at the end of this month, Chris and his family will continue to be valued members of the Yucaipa community.”
Mann has served as Yucaipa’s top executive since January 2023 following the abrupt resignation of City Manager Ray Casey. His current salary is $260,00 per year. As part of a severance agreement, Mann will walk away with an additional $279,045.
Assistant City Manager Jennifer Crawford has been named acting city manager. City leaders will discuss the appointment of an interim manager on April 14.
