The Scotts Valley city council last week voted unanimously to name Tina Friend as the community’s new city mansager. Friend, also known as Tina Shull, who replaces Jenny Haruyama, presently works as assistant city manager for the City of Santa Cruz and will take her new job next month. Scotts Valley Police Chief Steve Walpole will serve as Scott’s Valley’s acting city manager in the interim. Haruyama is becoming city manager in Tracy, where she worked previously.
