MARQUETTE The city of Marquette is one step closer to hiring its next city manager after conducting public interviews with six finalists on Saturday.
Current Marquette City Manager Mike Angeli’s successor could be decided as soon as today, with the commission slated to hold a special meeting beginning at 5:15 p.m. to discuss the potential selection. Angeli is set to retire June 1.
The city received 40 applicants for the position in the initial search phase, which was conducted by Walsh Municipal Services LLC of downstate Okemos. The six finalists were selected at the April 12 commission meeting, three weeks prior to the public interview phase, which took place Saturday.
