Galesburg City Council on Monday will consider adding back the position of a full-time City Attorney.
In September of last year, City Attorney Bradley Nolden resigned to take a job as VP for administrative and general counsel at Knox College.
Since then, for the past seven months, the city has been contracting with the firm of Barash and Everett for legal services.
The Council may be ready to return to a full-time in-house attorney but Barash and Everett have agreed to stay on until the recruitment process is complete.
The pay range for the City Attorney position would be listed at 32EX, the same range it was posted at when Nolden was hired in 2015.
This same agenda item could eliminate the positions of Assistant Director of Public Works and Assistant Director of Public Works/Assistant City Manager.
The Council created these at former City Manager Gerald Smith’s urging.
Council documents say the plan is to recruit a Public Works Director at the same scale the previous Public Works Director worked under.
