Watertown Appoints Interim City Manager

The City of Watertown has appointed CFO Kristen Bobzien as interim city manager following the expedited resignation of Amanda Mack, who accepted a position in Harrisburg, SD. The decision to hasten Mack's departure was made during a special session of the City Council, which thanked her for her service. A community panel has been established to oversee the search for a new city manager. Meanwhile, Richard Morton has been named interim city manager in Odessa after the resignation of John Beckmeyer, with Morton stating he does not seek the permanent position. In Kingsville, city manager Mark McLaughlin's resignation is set to take effect on December 20, with the City Commission planning to appoint an interim manager shortly thereafter. These leadership changes reflect ongoing transitions in local government across various cities.
