Stockton city manager fired by council

STOCKTON — Kurt Wilson’s five-year tenure as Stockton’s city manager ended suddenly late Tuesday afternoon when he was fired by the city council.

Wilson announced the move in an email after the City Council conducted his performance evaluation in the closed session before Tuesday night’s regular council meeting.

There was no immediate word on the selection of an interim city manager or a long-term replacement for the 46-year-old Wilson, whose salary was about $260,000 a year.
