The Dalles City Council has formally approved a contract for Julie Krueger to take on the City Manager’s job. Krueger’s appointment was announced last week, after she had been in the position in an interim capacity following the termination of former City Manager Nolan Young’s contract. Krueger has been with the City since 1989, serving as City Clerk before taking on the City Manager’s position. Mayor Steve Lawrence says Krueger’s ascension to the job is triggering a bit of a reorganization within City administration as they are looking to fill a human resources position and Izetta Grossman moves from administrative secretary to City Clerk. Lawrence did confirm Krueger’s contract does contain a clause allowing her to return to the City Clerk position if at any time the Council wants to make a change in the City Manager job.
