A motion will be presented to the Great Bend City Council at next Monday’s
meeting to name the next City Administrator. 
There were 25 applicants for the city administrator job after it became
available with Kendal Francis’ resignation in early January. Three finalists
were selected for extended interviews. 
Logan Burns, assistant administrator, has been serving as interim administrator
since last December. Strategic Government Resources (SGR) was hired for $18,000
to handle the search for the next administrator. Burns has previously stated he
expects a June start date for the chosen candidate. 
The city council meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. this upcoming Monday at City
Hall. A motion will be presented to the governing body to consent to Mayor Cody
Schmidt’s appointment of the city administrator.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
