Laguna Beach manager John Pietig says he’s stepping down in June after more than three decades of public service.

“The City of Laguna Beach is an extraordinary place,” Pietig said in a press release announcing his impending retirement. “Our community is involved, aware and very engaged. ... It is truly an honor and privilege to serve this special community.”
