Merrill nears decision on administrator position

Tuesday, October 11, 2011

After months of debate and community input, the City of Merrill will decide tonight whether or not to find a new administrator.

Merrill city Council members will make that decision at their council meeting at 5:30.

The city's ad hoc administrator committee has been collecting input from both the community and from city staff about any changes they'd like to see to the administrator's position. Using that data, a new job description and a recruitment ad were created and would be sent out to find a new city administrator.

In order to hire a new administrator, the council would have to lift the hiring freeze for the position, as well as approve the start of a new search.

Former administrator Tony Chaldek resigned back in April after his termination was approved by the committee of the whole.
