City Administrator Steve Guined spoke on behalf of his position. In October 2017 Steve announced his retirement. Then City Clerk Chris Jones and Disposal Plant Operator Greg Beckwith resigned leaving City Administrator Steve Guined, Public Work Manager Gene Sullivan and Deputy City Clerk Toni Flamm to assume these duties. The city advertised for a Disposal Plant Operator and only received two applications.
