City Administrator candidates: backgrounds and public input opportunities
In May, City Administrator Fritz Sprague stepped down due to health issues. Our Deputy City Administrator Kady Doelling has been running the city while the City Council hired a company to conduct a countrywide search for a replacement.
There were 39 applicants from 18 states and Canada.
Now there are four candidates for the position and the council will interview them publicly. There will also be a meet and greet where the community will be given an opportunity to speak with the candidates in a casual setting at the golf course clubhouse.
