Riviera Beach council votes to enter contract negations with the former city manager

Every since council fired city manager Jonathan Evans in September 2017, Riviera Beach has not had a permanent city manager. Karen Hoskisn, who has been the interim city manager since November 2017, is going to retire by the end of the week. Council voted 5-0 to hire Deirdre Jacobs as the new interim, but the focus of Monday’s meeting was bringing Evans back.
