Assembly picks new borough manager

PALMER — Having spent the lion’s share of Saturday interviewing candidates from a short list of names, the borough assembly unanimously chose a borough manager.

The assembly began its deliberations at 1 p.m. and by 9:30 p.m. was ready to announce that John M. Moosey of North Branch, Minn., had gotten the job.

The borough has been without a permanent manager since late June when the previous manager, John Duffy, departed. Since then the assembly has meet regularly to find a replacement.

Moosey is county administrator of Chisago County. Before that he was North Branch’s city administrator. He’s also been village administrator in Brewster, Ohio, city administrator of Defiance, Ohio, village administrator of Middlefield, Ohio, and borough manager of Clarion, Penn.
