A long-working City of Moline official is leaving his position after 30 years of service.
The City announced in a press release that Director of Public Works JD Schulte will be retiring in early April.
In a farewell letter, Schulte thanked, …the amazing staff in Public Works for their never-ending quest to swing for the bleachers. Schulte commended other members of the City of Moline that have worked so wonderfully with our team of the years as we worked on our mission as stewards of the public trust.
Moline will soon begin looking for a new city administrator. Tuesday night the city council will consider hiring a consultant, a business advisory firm named Baker Tilly, for four months.
Mayor Stephanie Acri says the city has already received some interest, and some resumes, from potential candidates, and they ll be part of the pool of candidates Baker Tilly will evaluate.
Last spring, Moline hired a temporary agency for government jobs called Gov Temps USA to provide interim services for one year. And it sent Martin Vanags to fill the interim position. He replaced J.D. Schulte who d also served on an interim basis, and then returned to serving as Director of Public Works.
