The city of Monrovia could have a new city manager as soon as mid-February.
Interim City Manager Francis Delach gave a report Tuesday night at the Monrovia City Council meeting to update the community on the search.
The city has received 94 applications for the post.

Delach, a former Azusa city manager, came on board to serve as the interim for Monrovia in October.
He took over for former City Manager Laurie Lile, who retired.
