The City of Glendale has appointed a temporary city manager as it looks for someone to permanently fill the position. Dick Bowers will replace Brenda Fisher who resigned earlier this month.

Bowers has three decades of experience and previously served as Scottsdale’s city manager. Glendale has struggled financially over the past several years and faces a budget shortfall this year. 

KJZZ senior field correspondent Kathy Ritchie has 20 years of experience reporting and writing stories for national and local media outlets — nearly a decade of it has been spent in public media.
