Bob Galusha, who has been with the city since July 2005, was appointed to the interim city administrator's spot at the end of a special open session the council held Tuesday afternoon, according to City Clerk Melissa Swanson.
City Administrator Dale Neiman resigned Nov. 4 following the election to the council of Jeri Spittler and Joey Luiz, with whom he said he was unwilling to work, as Lake County News has reported.
Police Chief Allan McClain has been filling the interim city administrator spot since Neiman's departure in mid-November, but he also had announced on Nov. 4 that he was retiring.
McClain's retirement goes into effect Dec. 30, which necessitated the council finding an interim replacement.
Following the open portion of the meeting, the council adjourned into closed session to further discuss the interim city administrator issue, Swanson said.
She said that the council emerged from closed session shortly after 4 p.m., with no reportable action.
Earlier this month the council voted 4-1 to appoint Lt. Craig Clausen as the city's interim police chief, as Lake County News has reported.
