New City Manager for Desert Hot Springs
After a closed door session on February 28, 2006, the Desert Hot Springs City Council finally selected a new city manager by a 3-2 vote, with Councilwomen Mary Stephens and Yvonne Parks casting the two votes opposing the appointment. The City Manager is Ann Marie Gallant, who interviewed at a previous city manager public forum in mid- 2005.
One reason she was selected was due
to her being able to communicate
with the community and the city
hall staff. Gallant will have a salary of
$155,000 and benefits the same as
city employees. She had tried to
negotiate for better benefits but
this was turned down by the City
Council members. Gallant is due to
start in her new position in 30
days or so, and will discuss
details of her resignation as city
manager of King City, CA.

A great loss to the Coachella Valley listening audience:
Pete Forgione, that personable, delightful and humorous voice we have laughed with, cried with and taken into our family will be leaving the airwaves soon. Pete is retiring.
Pete has decided to check his vocal chords and relax awhile.
Bob Wetherall, afternoon announcer will take over as Operations Manager of the station, replacing Pete. Pete has been with KWXY for 14 years as the morning personality on one of the most respected and musically outstanding radio stations in the Coachella Valley; KWXY FM 98.5 and KWXY AM 1340. KWXY has been a leader in music and news since it was started by radio pioneer, Glen Barnett, 42 years ago.
Bob Wetherall has been with the station in various capacities since 1998 and was formerly with WCCO Minneapolis and KOEL Oelwein, Iowa. He will continue as mid-day announcer plus his new duties, including production managr.
Mandy Armstrong, who joined the station in 2003, will take over Forgione's morning drive time slot now labeled as "Mandy In The Morning" along with Bill Hesson's news.
Jon Hoffman leaves his overnight shifts to fill Armstrong's Saturday and Sunday morning time. The new schedule will start Friday, February 17, 2006.
