NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Tampa Bay resident Pamela Brangaccio was selected tonight as the next city manager for New Smyrna Beach after a final round of interviews with the top 5 candidates for the administrative post that pays between $120,00-$140,000 annually.

Dennis Beach, former city manager of Fort Pierce, was chosen as an alternate should the city not be able to reach a contractual agreement with Brangaccio.

Mayor Sally Mackay asked that the final vote be a resolution of unanimous support for the top vote getter and with Brangaccio getting three votes and Beach two, the commission voted unanimously for her. The mayor and Commissioners Jack Grasty, Lynne Plaskett, Randy Richenberg and James Hathaway threw their support behind the former Broward County administrator, who left that post in 2007 and has been working as a consultant.
