Big Change Coming to Macomb City Hall

Macomb, IL – Macomb is in the market for a new city administrator. Sources close to the situation tell Tri States Public Radio that current City Administrator Mike Hays is on the way out. Hays has been working with no contract for the past year-and-a-half and will not be reappointed when Mayor Mick Wisslead's next term begins in May. One source says Wisslead consulted with the city council and received its consent before making the decision. Another says the mayor and Hays did not get along so a change was seen as being in the city's best interests. Hays started in Macomb in November 2002 after spending the previous 11 years as city manager in Iowa Falls. Wisslead declined to be interviewed about the situation on Wednesday. Hays has already started clearing out his office and has also declined to comment.
