Attempt to rescind Hibbing general manager’s resignation fails after closed-session review
Summary
After a closed session under Minnesota Statute 13D.05 for a general manager review, a motion to accept a letter rescinding the general manager’s resignation failed for lack of support; the general manager then thanked the commission and community for five years of service.
The Hibbing Public Utilities Commission held a closed session on June 9 under Minnesota Statute 13D.05, subdivision 3A to review the general manager. After returning to open session, a motion to accept a letter rescinding the general manager’s resignation did not receive support and failed.
The motion to rescind the resignation received no support from the commission and did not pass. After the vote failed, a person who identified with management thanked the commission and community for five years and two months of service, praising accomplishments modernizing infrastructure and wishing Hibbing Public Utilities well.
"I just wanted to thank the public utilities commission for a great five uh years and two months," the departing official said, adding that it had been an "absolute honor" to work on behalf of ratepayers.
Ending: The attempt to rescind the resignation was not approved; the commission adjourned shortly thereafter. The commission did not take a recorded vote on appointment or retention that night.
