3/30/14 - The field of candidates for the South Lyon city managerâs position has been narrowed to five finalists. The position became vacant in the fall when the previous city manager, Dave Murphy, was fired by the city council. A total of 47 applications have been received by the city from both inside and outside the state. According to the South Lyon Herald, a consultant presented the applications in an anonymous format to the council, which narrowed the field to five finalists during a closed session on Monday night. The final five include two women and three men, and one of them is from outside Michigan but has worked in-state in the past. All of them are experienced working for local municipalities. The five have been offered interviews for the job on April 26th, with hopes of making a hiring decision in May. The process was earlier expected to be finished by mid-April, but the city decided to extend the application period. The new city manager will likely make between $85,000 and $95,000 annually, plus benefits. (TD)
