Dante Hall
Jeff Moneda
Foster City residents can expect regular turnover in the city manager position moving forward.
After Jeff Moneda, who has been city manager since 2018, announced he is resigning effective June 7, Assistant City Manager Dante Hall has been asked to serve as acting city manager, the city announced Tuesday.
Hall will handle day-to-day operations while Moneda will focus on preparing reports for long-term projects and initiatives in order to ensure smooth transition to the new interim city manager, according to a press release.
Hall will lead the city until the City Council selects an interim city manager to take over while recruitment of a new city manager is conducted.
The council during a meeting May 4 will discuss the appointment of the interim city manager and recruitment process for a new city manager. During the meeting, the council will review and approve a request for proposals that will be issued to various recruiting firms.
The nationwide search for the new city manager is expected to span months, according to the release.

Harder for smaller cities to keep Senior Management. If a city has a talented person they are recruited and will go to a bigger city. Maybe time to think more on merging with other cities or merge more city departments like Police, Fire, Public Works, Parks & Rec. Fire Dept. in San Mateo, Foster City, Belmont already merged last year.
San carlos and Belmont merger did not work out the Firefighters had to reapply for their jobs..they were handed pink slips Mergers don'talways work out Sometimes I call them takeovers as the bigger departments take over.
Dear San Mateo Daily Journal staff, would it be too much to ask how you came to this ludicrous assumption regarding “Foster City residents can expect regular turnover in the city manager position moving forward”? Real journalists include facts to backup wild assertions like this.
Let's see. Moneda... Then Hall... Then interim manager... Then new manager. Seems like some regular turnover to me. Did you by chance read the story before insulting the reporter?
What you are mentioning here is a transition that is a lot different than turnover.
