Mayor names Doug Gerber interim city manager; council gives consent
Summary
The mayor announced the appointment of Doug Gerber as interim city manager, effective June 23, 2026, and the Edwardsville City Council signaled consent and authorized the mayor to finalize the employment agreement.
The mayor announced he would appoint Doug Gerber as Edwardsville’s interim city manager, subject to council consent and execution of a signed employment agreement. The contract’s effective date was stated in the meeting as 06/23/2026.
Staff told the council a draft employment agreement had been circulated with minor edits and that the final version would be posted in the minutes. "I would like to appoint Mr. Doug Gerber as our interim city manager subject to the approval of the council," the presiding official said in opening remarks. Council members moved and seconded the motion to consent to the appointment (mover identified as Councilman Schreiber, seconder identified as Councilman Eberhardt/Eberhart), and the clerk conducted a roll-call; several members responded with audible affirmative votes during the call.
The council also approved a separate motion authorizing the mayor to enter into a contract substantially in the form discussed; staff said it would finalize the contract and obtain a signed agreement. The meeting closed after the council recorded affirmative responses and confirmed next administrative steps.
