NORTH MANKATO —
It could be as long as two months before North Mankato picks a new city administrator after the City Council declined Tuesday night to offer the job to one of three finalists interviewed last month.
The finalists -- Blue Earth City Administrator Kathy Bailey, former Melrose City Administrator Brian Beeman and Afton interim City Administrator Ron Moorse -- will potentially still be candidates to replace Wendell Sande, who retired at the end of May. But the council decided to reopen the search, hoping to find a stronger candidate -- particularly in terms of financial expertise.
The same expanded personnel committee that did the original search, possibly with the addition of a yet-to-be-identified citizen with experience as an auditor, is to submit a new list of finalists within 60 days.
