The Whitewater Common Council announces that interim City Manager John Weidl has been selected to serve in the position permanently.

The decision was made following a closed session meeting on Wednesday.

Weidl has served as interim city manager since August through a contract with GovUSA Temps, following the departure of Cameron Clapper.

Clapper took a position as County Administrator in Dodge County in late August after serving Whitewater for over 12 years.

Weidl lives in Elkhorn and serves as a Town Supervisor for the Township of Layfayette.
