The Wyoming City Council voted to approve the hiring of Mr. Magger for a public works maintenance position with a tentative start date of May 19, 2025.
City staff (Mr. Reeves) told the council they reviewed 36 applications, conducted nine first-round interviews, narrowed the field to five and brought two finalists back for a final interview. Staff recommended Mr. Magger as the top candidate, citing experience in water and sewer work and potential to share best practices with the department.
Council members asked how an additional hire would affect street maintenance and MS4 stormwater obligations.
