The State - News from Aug. 15, 1985

San Jose’s city attorney resigned shortly after the City Council voted to oust him. Robert J. Logan, who has been San Jose’s chief legal adviser since 1977, quit after a 6-5 council vote to fire him, a move that had the support of Mayor Tom McEnery. McEnery and other council members would not discuss the reasons for their apparent displeasure with Logan, whose tenure in the $91,000-a-year job has at times been shaky, and he has come under fire for missing meetings and being out of town frequently. Last week, two of his top assistants resigned. Logan, who was the youngest man to hold the city attorney job when he assumed office at age 33, had no comment.
