GLADSTONE, MI-- Gladstone needs a new city manager.
WLUC-TV reports Darla Falcon’s contract was not renewed by the city commission at a meeting Monday night. Falcon has been the city manager for the past six years; before that she served as assistant city manager.
Falcon worked under a rolling contract, which means her employment was terminated once the commission decided not to renew it.
Officials say they don’t have confidence in Falcon’s leadership, and don’t think she was hearing the concerns of citizens or staff.
The commission will hold a special meeting Wednesday to select an interim city manager. After that, the search will begin for a permanent one.
