The City of Huntington Beach, California, has named a new interim police chief during a special closed council meeting, but two city officials say the appointment was the wrong choice.

The Huntington Beach City Council approved Julian Harvey for the job by a 5-to-2 vote on Nov. 5, with Councilman Erik Peterson and Mayor Lyn Semeta weighing in against the appointment.
