The Mason City city Council and Mayor Eric Bookmeyer will hold a work session Thursday night at City Hall in the 2nd Floor Conference Room.
They will be discussing the Alliant Energy franchise agreement and the soon-to-be-vacant position of City Attorney / Human Resources Manager.
Alliant Energy representatives will be on hand to answer questions about the franchise agreement.
City Administrator Brent Trout is recommending that the City hire a local law firm to provide support until the City can fill the vacant position. “Attorney Jim Locher has stated he would provide legal services for the City on the civil side of issues but is not interested in providing support before the Magistrate Court,” Trout said in a memo. “Attorney Mark Young has stated that he is interested in providing legal services for civil issues and Magistrate Court,” he continued. Trout is recommending bringing both attorneys on board.
Trout also says in the memo that the City has decisions to make as to the future of the city attorney position and the human resources position.
