In an effort to reduce the workload of the city administrator, the city of Willmar is planning to hire a city operations director. The new position will act as the second-in-command to the administrator. At Monday's meeting, the Willmar City Council approved hiring Baker Tilly to conduct a nationwide search for candidates.
In a written statement, Administrator/Clerk Patrick Wussow simply said he wants "to concentrate on personal projects that have been on the back burner."
