MARQUETTE The Marquette City Commission on Monday night completed an important step in its process to hire a new city manager in light of current Marquette City Manager Mike Angeli’s upcoming retirement.
The commission voted 7-0 to approve a professional services contract with Walsh Municipal Services LLC of downstate Okemos to seek out and then narrow down candidates for the position, which will be vacated by Angeli on June 1.
Angeli is set to retire after 45 years of employment with the city, most notably with the Marquette Police Department as a patrol officer and detective captain before being promoted to chief of police in 2008. Angeli has served as the city manager since 2015.
