In a unanimous vote Saturday, Lyon Township Superintendent Chris Olson was chosen to enter into contract negotiations with the Marshall City Council to be the city's next city manager.
Trustee Jim Dyer wanted a unanimous vote, he said after the meeting, to hopefully dissuade people who may have chased away its last choice last year, Erik Wilson of Plainwell.
Citizen Jerry Baremore said he was pleased with the council's decision and the smooth way the search was handled.
City Attorney Paul Beardslee and Michigan Municipal League Search Consultant Bob Hamilton will begin contract talks with Olson and council hopes to vote on the pact Monday, March 19.

Great news! About time this process got finished. The city needs this to move forward. I sure hope the clerk hunt is a bit faster now.
It was good to see that the city council can agree on something. The process was a successful one.
