Wausau asks residents whether the city should hire a professional administrator
Mayor Doug Diny wants Wausau residents to weigh in on hiring a city administrator, two weeks after a council committee moved the $150,000 he budgeted for one to an audit. A short online survey, open through Nov. 17, asks residents to rate the quality of life in Wausau and say how familiar they are with the city’s current structure. Residents are also asked what matters most to them in how the city is run and whether they would support or oppose the change. The survey takes 10 to 15 minutes. Anyone who lives, works or owns a business in Wausau can respond, according to a news release Monday from the mayor’s office.
