Manhattan accepts resignation of Village Administrator Jeff Boldt; appoints Mark Nelson as interim
Summary
The Village Board accepted the resignation of Village Administrator Jeff Boldt and unanimously appointed Mark Nelson, the director of development, as interim village administrator. Boldt, who previously served as police chief, thanked staff and residents; the board praised his service.
The Manhattan Village Board on Nov. 4 accepted the resignation of Village Administrator Jeff Boldt and named Mark Nelson interim village administrator.
Mayor (name not stated) opened the item by noting Boldt had served three years as police chief before 18 months as village administrator and thanked him for his service. Boldt addressed the board and residents, recounted community events and program launches during his tenure — including the school resource officer program, the canine program and fundraising for Special Olympics — and said he plans to return to police work in another community.
The board then moved to accept the resignation. A roll-call vote recorded Beheena, Young, Dilling, Neighbors, Boone and Doyle as voting yes; the motion carried. The mayor announced that Boldt has offered to help with the transition to the next administrator.
Mayor nominated Mark Nelson, the village director of development and the longest-serving department head, as interim village administrator. The board approved the appointment by roll call. Nelson said he had previously performed interim duties and accepted the role.
The board did not set a timeline at the meeting for a permanent replacement; the mayor said Boldt and village staff had discussed transition assistance. No further personnel actions were announced.
