City Manager Susan E. McCarthy has named Andy Agle acting director of the city’s planning and community development department while a search for a successor to Suzanne Frick, who is leaving Santa Monica for a similar position in the city of Long Beach, is conducted.

Agle has been with the city for seven years, as assistant director of the department. Prior to that, Agle was a project manager for the city of Anaheim Redevelopment Agency, and project manager and advisor for several regional plan-ning and transportation agencies. He has a B.A. in economics from Pomona College and a master’s degree in public affairs and urban and regional planning from Princeton University. In his capacity as assistant director, he has overseen a variety of interdepartmental projects for the city, including the master development plan for the Civic Center; design of the public safety facility; development agreement for the RAND corporate headquarters, and design of the new civic center parking facility which has just begun construction. Democrats go on the defensive
