Commission names former manager Janet as interim to keep city running during transition
Summary
With the city manager matter advancing, commissioners voted to offer former interim Janet a temporary appointment to keep budget season and operations on track while the council seeks a permanent replacement.
After voting to move on the city manager's employment status, the commission voted to offer Janet (a former interim manager who emailed the mayor offering to return) an interim city-manager role to ensure administrative continuity during budget season. The offer is to start under the prior terms for an initial period while commissioners review and, if necessary, renegotiate compensation and duties within 30 days.
Commissioners debated whether the appointment required the four-vote charter threshold for a permanent administrator; the city attorney advised the action as interim is distinct from appointing an indefinite-term administrator and the commission proceeded. Commissioner comments emphasized the need for immediate operational leadership to finalize the FY budget.
