Falcon removed from Gladstone City Manager job

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.  

Nicole was born near Detroit but has lived in the U.P. most of her life. She graduated from Marquette Senior High School and attended Michigan State and Northern Michigan Universities, graduating from NMU in 1993 with a degree in English.
