MARQUETTE The city of Marquette has selected Karen Kovacs as its next city manager.
The Marquette City Commission voted 7-0 at its regular meeting Monday night to make an offer of employment to Kovacs, the lone finalist for the position after John Kramer of Aurora, Illinois, withdrew his name from consideration last week.
Kovacs is currently the city administrator for downstate Milan, a city of 5,800 people in Washtenaw and Monroe counties, a role she’s held since July 2019. Previously, she served as the finance director and treasurer for Milan for almost four years.
Before her stints with Milan, Kovacs was employed as a governmental accounting professional consultant for Plante & Moran PLLC. She graduated with an accounting degree and a minor in applied technology in business from Oakland University.
