Bell's former assistant city manager resigned her post Friday as the interim administrator of neighboring Maywood, another casualty of the salary scandal in Bell.
For Angela Spaccia, it marked the second time in two weeks she has resigned over the salary issue.
Last week, she stepped down from her position in Bell along with City Administrator Robert Rizzo and Police Chief Randy Adams. All three had come under heavy criticism since it was revealed that they were among the highest-paid municipal employees for their positions in the nation.
For the last five months, Bell had lent Spaccia to neighboring Maywood, so she could run the daily affairs of that troubled city. That assignment continued after she quit her post in Bell.
"I am concerned now that the media attention brought upon you to discontinue my services will overshadow Maywood's true story," Spaccia said in an e-mail she sent Friday to Maywood's council members announcing her departure.
Spaccia's resignation raises questions about who will become the top executive in Maywood, which recently disbanded its police department, laid off almost every employee and turned its day-to-day civic affairs over to Bell.
Except for the elected council members, the city attorney and city clerk, Maywood has no employees. The drastic steps came after the city lost its insurance, in part because it failed to hire a full-time city manager.
