NEGAUNEE, MI-- Negaunee needs a new manager.
ABC 10 says the city council voted 5-2 to separate from manager Jeff Thornton after six years. Mayor Don Gladwell said Thornton didn’t receive a poor evaluation; it was just that he and the city were headed in different directions.
Some in attendance at the Monday night meeting felt the move was personal.
The council and Thornton mutually agreed upon the separation, effective March 9.
Negaunee officials say in the next few days they’ll start looking into selection of an interim city manager and the planning of advertising the position.
