FOLLANSBEE –Â Follansbee city council agreed Monday to appoint Follansbee’s water superintendent as interim city manager and to advertise for an engineer to plan upgrades to streetlights along Main Street.
Mayor David Velegol Jr. asked for Water Superintendent Jack McIntosh to be named to the position, citing the recent illness of City Manager John DeStefano and uncertainty about whether DeStefano plans to continue when his current contract is up in August.
