La Mirada~The City Council has appointed Jeff Boynton as the new City Manager of La Mirada after a  5-0 vote at its meeting this past Tuesday.

Boynton, 34, will replace the retiring Tom Robinson who has held the position since August of 2009, when he replaced Andrea Travis.

We caught up with Boynton yesterday morning and he provided this statement to the La Mirada Blog, “I am honored to be selected by the City Council to serve as City Manager.

La Mirada is a great community, and I’m looking forward to building upon its strengths as a safe, attractive, and family friendly place to live and work.  La Mirada has a bright future, and I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of it,” he said.

The move is to become effective September 16^th, with a contract to be considered at the July 23^rd City Council meeting.

Boynton was hired by the city in 2001 as an administrative aide.
