Economic Development Director Guy Andrews resigned effective 8-31-22. His position is not yet filled. Assistant City Manager Michael Dane has served as Interim Economic Development Director since Andrews left. Last March the city increased Dane's pay $22,731 or 12.5% for those increased responsibilities and made it retroactive to 10-1-22.
The city's HR Director instituted the temporary pay increase after learning from Finance Director Tina Dierschke how fatigued Mr. Dane was from doing "so much extra work." Oddly, that fatigue did not come up in the recent Development Corporation meeting when that board discussed the Economic Development Director position.
One board member asked Tina about the financial impact of not fulfilling the director role. Dane answered in general terms and spoke of the pay and benefit savings (roughly $200,000) but did not mention his interim pay and benefits ($31,000) as an offset. He may have been too tired.
