Search for new Hastings City Manager narrowed to five candidates

The search process for a new city manager for Hastings advanced one more step with the release of the names of five finalists for the position. The nationwide search began after former city manager Jerry Czarnecki left the post in early May, and the City Council engaged the Michigan Municipal League to identify a list of candidates to consider.

 

From twenty initial applicants, the field was narrowed to ten candidates, and then during an executive session at the June 14 council meeting, to the five finalists.  

 

They include:

 

    -Richard Downey, currently the Village Manager of Kronenwetter, Wisconsin

 

    -Susan Montenegro,  the City Manager of Leslie, Michigan

 

    -Tim Wolff, Village Manager of Lake Isabella, Michigan

 

    - Bret Harmon, Administrative Services Director for Sanger, California

 

    - Sarah Moyer-Cale, who is currently Village Manager, Zoning Administrator and     DDA Director at Paw Paw, Michigan

 

During a day-long session on Thursday, July 8th, the City Council will interview all five with the hope of making their final selection on July 9th.

 

In the meantime, Gregg Guetschow of Charlotte has been serving as Interim City Manager under contract until a new permanent manager takes over.
