City Manager Role Compared to Large Financial Institution

It notes the manager’s salary is set by the council and that the manager can be discharged without cause, while the council remains accountable to the public and may face recall.

Mills Shut Down by High Water
High water closed down both Cedar mills last night due to power loss from water hitting the wheels. This morning the stream remained heavy but may ease as snow and cold slow runoff. Snow depth near Osage reached a foot, while Lyle Minnesota reported high river levels. Precipitation totaled about 1.87 inches in recent days as weather observers logged rain and sleet causing ice on ground and damaging wires. I. C. passenger No. 14 was two and a half hours late today.
