Heather McGuire is ready to hit the ground running as the new city administrator in St. Charles.
Appointed by Mayor Lora Vitek and unanimously approved last month by the city council, McGuire officially begins her job on Monday. She'll replace Mark Koenen, who retired in May after nearly 40 years with the city including the last eight as city administrator.
McGuire spent the last few weeks wrapping up projects as the city administrator in Crest Hill while also researching St. Charles and getting to know her new colleagues. She said next week's calendar is already booked for meetings with staff and key community members.
