Eagan City Council accepts city administrator Diane Miller’s resignation; motion passes 3-1-1
Summary
The Eagan City Council accepted City Administrator Diane Miller’s resignation effective mid-July, voting 3 yes, 1 no, 1 abstention. Councilors said the city will appoint an interim and begin a search for a permanent replacement.
The Eagan City Council voted June 3 to accept the resignation of City Administrator Diane Miller, whose last day was described in the meeting as mid-July, with council members saying they expect her departure to occur around July 18–19.
Miller announced her resignation during the personnel portion of the June 3 meeting, saying she was resigning after 24 years with the city and three years in the administrator role. “Under personnel items is my resignation, from the role of city administrator after 3 years in this role, but 24 years with the city of Egan,” Miller said during the public meeting.
The council discussed transition planning before taking the formal motion to accept her resignation. Council members said the personnel committee will meet in the coming week to develop a plan for an interim appointment and a recruitment timeline for a long-term replacement; the council estimated a national search could take six to eight months.
Council members praised Miller’s long service. Mayor (name not specified) and multiple councilors described Miller as an exceptional public administrator and said city staff will manage operations during the transition. The council noted an interim city administrator likely will be appointed to cover operations until the recruitment is complete.
A motion to accept Miller’s resignation was moved and seconded during the meeting and carried by a vote of 3 yes, 1 no and 1 abstention. The meeting record did not name which councilors cast each specific vote in the roll call recorded in the transcript.
The council also said the personnel committee will outline next steps and that staff will return with formal recommendations for interim coverage and a recruitment plan. Miller thanked council members for the opportunity to serve and said she appreciated the city and its staff.
The council adopted the personnel item as part of its consent actions and moved on to the evening’s new business.
