MARSHFIELD – Following the removal of Mayor Bob McManus last month and weeks of postponing a decision, Marshfield City Council voted Tuesday night to have its president continue to handle official mayoral duties until next spring.
The 10 council members voted unanimously to not hold a special election and instead continue with their current system, with newly elected Council President Nick Poeschel maintaining most mayoral duties. The mayor’s seat will be up for election in April 2022.
New and re-elected council members took the oath of office last week and Poeschel, who has represented District 2 since 2017, replaced Tom Witzel as council president.

MARSHFIELD, WI (WSAU-WDLB) â Marshfield will be without a mayor for a year.
Marshfield aldermen will let city residents choose the next Mayor, and they wonât do so for another 342 days. The Common Council voted 10-0 last night in favor of leaving the office vacant until the cityâs next regular general election April 5th of next year.
The Councilâs decision comes 36 days after an 8-to-2 vote March 22nd to remove Bob McManus from the Mayorâs position over misconduct allegations.
Aldermen chose to wait, over two other recommendations from City Administrator Steve Barg to appoint someone or hold a special election. Assuming a primary election would be needed, City Clerk Deb Hall said the earliest that could happen would be June 15th, followed by a general election July 13th. And she said it would come with a price tag somewhere close to $20,000.
