Union Council Leaves Mayor/Adm. Position Intact

The Union City Council left intact the combined positions of Mayor and City Administrator for the upcoming special write-in election in November.

Early reports indicated that the Council may seek to separate the two positions following the indictment of Mayor Bruce Morgan, who had initiated the combining of the two jobs.

But the Council decided that the positions will remain combined, and thus, the person who wins the mayoral election in the Fall will also become the City Administrator with a salary of $103,545 per year.

The winner will also oversee an operation with an annual budget of over $50 million per year.

And surprisingly, the qualifications for running for the office are quite few.
