COLTON – Former Omnitrans finance director Stephen P. Compton will fill in as interim city manager in Colton while a replacement for just-departed city manager Rod Foster is carried out.
Foster left Colton on March 14, closing out more than three years as city manager in the 52,154-population Hub City between the San Bernardino County seat of San Bernardino, the Riverside County Seat of Riverside, and Grand Terrace, Loma Linda and Rialto.
Compton, who has 32 years of public administration experience and was once assistant city manager in Ridgecrest, will be provided with a $10,920 per month salary that is augmented with no benefits other than mileage reimbursement for travel outside the city.  He is a resident of Redlands.
