LOS ANGELES (AP) - Maywood officials say the interim city manager has resigned in the wake of the salary scandal in the neighboring city of Bell.
A city spokeswoman said that Angela Spaccia resigned from her $10,000 per month contract position on Friday.
Last week, she resigned from her post as Bell's assistant city manager, where she was paid more than $376,000 per year.
City spokeswoman Magdalena Prado says Spaccia e-mailed the City Council to say that she was concerned that the growing media attention would detract from needed financial and structural reforms.
Spaccia oversaw Maywood's decision last month to lay off almost every city employee and disband its troubled police department. The city outsourced municipal operations to Bell for $50,000 per month.
