The Cupertino City Council has placed City Manager Pamela Wu on paid leave to conduct an internal review, marking the sixth manager in less than a decade. The decision was contentious, with a 3-2 vote and no clear reason given, stirring concern in the community. Wu expressed confusion and commitment to supporting the city despite her leave. Former Deputy City Manager Tina Kapoor has stepped in temporarily, with assurances that city services will remain unaffected. The council has been evaluating Wu's performance since earlier this year amid ongoing leadership transitions.
âI wish that whatever happens is the best for the community and council and most importantly, the staff team,â said City Manager Pamela Wu, expressing her commitment even while on leave.
Mayor Liang Chao emphasized her focus on ensuring that Cupertino's leadership can effectively deliver quality services and communicate effectively during this transitional period.
