City Manager Doug Bartosh was hailed as the city’s leader during the Cottonwood Council meeting Tuesday and awarded a 6-percent merit salary increase (to $135,000).
Mayor Diane Joens read a lengthy “laundry-list” of city accomplishments in recent years under the Bartosh administration. “He has done a good job of accomplishing and holds up his end of it.”
The mayor said, “His response time is amazing. You ask for something in the morning and he is already working on it by afternoon.”
