City manager search down to 5

Residents will have a chance to meet the five finalists vying to become Elgin’s permanent city manager next week.

Each candidate will be available to speak with residents during a public meet-and-greet Tuesday, July 29, following brief opening remarks from Mayor Theresa McShan. The meeting is set to begin at 6 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at 404 N. Main St.

“These five individuals each have a wealth of experience and expertise to share with us, and we are pleased that they are all interested in sharing their knowledge and experience with our community,” McShan said. “I know I speak for my fellow council members when I say we are all looking forward to getting to know the candidates better and hearing their impressions of Elgin.”
