How will City Manager Chris Olson's upcoming departure impact Marshall?

With Marshall City Manager Chris Olson informing the City Council late Monday of his intention to resign from office next June, how will the city fare in the next six months? Will his impending departure impede city business and progress or will the coming months usher in a new attitude and working relationship within the council and the city? We'd appreciate your comments and also like to hear who you think should be the next city manager.
