City Council Special Meeting 8/18/2026 Part 2

The City Council of Nisswa, MN held a special meeting on August 18, 2026, primarily focused on discussing the compensation range for a vacant advertised position. The council reviewed salary data from comparable cities and considered the challenges in recruiting candidates with the desired five to seven years of experience within the current wage range. It was noted that increasing the salary range might be necessary to attract qualified candidates, but no final decision was made regarding the four candidates interviewed. The council voted to pause the hiring process and instructed the city administrator, Mr. Humple, to notify the candidates that no decision had been made. The search will remain on hold until further direction is provided, with acknowledgment that additional fees may be incurred if the search resumes.
