Cupertino in search of new city manager after $311K settlement with Pamela Wu

CUPERTINO IS IN THE MARKET for a new leader after settling with its city manager.

The Cupertino City Council voted 4-1 in closed session June 3 to settle with City Manager Pamela Wu, who was placed on paid leave last month. Vice Mayor Kitty Moore voted no. Wu stepped down as part of the settlement and will walk away with $311,098.53 in severance pay with some benefits, according to an agreement between Wu and the city. The agreement does not disclose the reason for Wu’s settlement, but said Cupertino must discontinue investigations into her conduct and destroy all associated documents.
