No Action On New Administrator

9/11/12

Since City Administrator Brian Heck was shown to the door in March, there's been no action on finding a permanent replacement. Bill Joynes has been on board as Interim Administrator for about two months, but a three day per week interim isn't what's needed at City hall.

Now that Lizee is not running for Mayor, Zerby will be the new mayor (since he's running unopposed) and Siakel and Hotvet have two more years on their terms; it seems to make sense to start looking for a new administrator now rather than wait until after the election.

There are many strategic projects in limbo and needing a full-time administrator's guidance. Having no action on them for four to six more months just doesn't make sense.

Happy Reading!

  1. Which "strategic projects" are in limbo because we have a part-time Administrator?
    Maybe the council knows the residents don't want whatever projects you are referencing and it has nothing to do with the Administrator.
    If we can get along for a year without a full time administrator... maybe we don't need one.

    1. People seem to like him. Maybe we have stumbled on something that works. I'm just saying...

  2. Tonka Bay gets by without a planning commission. Go figure!

  3. Tonka Bay has no planning commission because they have nothing to plan. But on the administrator note: Perhaps a part time cost-effecient SUPERVISOR of senior staff is all that is needed. The city clerk could capably handle the rest. Just saying on that one too.
