Councilors at the July 6 work session said they prefer hiring a city manager who lives within roughly a 30-minute drive of Donald but agreed the language should encourage rather than require that residency. The minutes record the decision as a preference rather than a mandate.
Members said they expect the city manager to serve a community-service role and to work in person at City Hall; the council asked that the job description explicitly include an expectation of in-person presence while keeping residency language permissive.
