Council narrows city manager search; closed session set to discuss terms
Summary
Council members reported narrowing the city manager finalists to a single top candidate and scheduled a closed session under Wisconsin statutes to negotiate terms; the council said it may call a special meeting to finalize an employment agreement.
The Two Rivers City Council told the audience it has narrowed a field of finalists for the city manager job to a single top candidate and intends to discuss terms in closed session under Wisconsin Stat. § 19.85(1)(c) and (e).
Council members described a public “get to know you” session that drew roughly 60 people and said four finalists were interviewed; the council identified one finalist and has kept the candidate confidential while contract terms are negotiated. The council president said a closed session discussion would cover proposed employment terms and that a special meeting for final action might be scheduled before the end of the week.
Council president’s remarks noted the search included community engagement events and interviews with staff and department heads. The council asked members to expect a possible special meeting to confirm hiring after closed-session negotiations and candidate feedback are concluded. The meeting moved into a closed session later in the evening under Wisconsin statutes cited on the agenda; no final public action on an employment agreement was recorded in open session.
