Rushford council votes to offer city administrator post to local candidate Hayden Stensgard
Summary
After interviewing administrator candidate Hayden Stensgard, the Rushford City Council voted Feb. 9 to offer him the City Administrator position; council members said he appeared knowledgeable and a good fit for employees and the community.
The Rushford City Council moved Feb. 9 to offer the City Administrator position to Hayden Stensgard after interviewing him during the meeting.
Councilor Andrew Linder moved to offer the position to Stensgard; Councilor Nick Smith seconded and the motion carried. The minutes say councilors, department heads and the EDA president contributed eight questions for the interview. Council members later told one another that Stensgard “seemed to have some valuable knowledge” and that he would be a good fit for the community and city employees, according to the meeting record.
The action followed a single candidate interview conducted during the regular meeting. The minutes state Stensgard answered the eight compiled questions and expressed interest in returning to the community where he grew up. The record does not indicate a formal acceptance by Stensgard during the meeting or list a start date or employment terms.
If Stensgard accepts the offer, the hire would fill the city's chief administrative role; the minutes do not specify subsequent steps such as a contract signing, effective start date, or additional approvals. The council took no separate recorded vote on employment terms at the Feb. 9 session.
The council adjourned at 8:00 p.m.
