Decatur Formally Approves Hiring of Next City Manager
(Decatur,. IL) — The Decatur City Council has formally approved the hiring of Tim Gleason as the city’s next city manager. He’ll succeed Scott Wrighton, who is retiring in May. Gleason was Decatur’s city manager before he took the same job in Bloomington six years ago. Mayor Julie Moore Wolfe had announced her intention to hire Gleason last week. Some council members argued the hiring should have gone through the regular process. Mayor Wolfe said she chose him without considering other candidates. But other council members say he’s the best qualified for the job and should be hired. The council approved his contract last night.
