John Dougherty considers his budgeting skills to be his strongest asset as a public administrator, and that may be why the City Council on Friday voted unanimously to offer him the city manager position.
“I am so looking forward to this,” said Dougherty. “I plan on hitting the ground running.”
Dougherty said he is aware of the city’s financial woes and he thinks he could help Mayor Janet Watson and the City Council right the ship.
“Finance is my strongest suit,” said the former city manager of Reedsburg and Oconto Falls, both in Wisconsin.
