After meeting in special closed session Monday afternoon, the Janesville City Council has narrowed the pool of candidates for city manager down to a group of finalists.

Council President Paul Benson says they’ve narrowed the list down to four potential candidates, but are waiting to release their names until each candidate has had time to talk to family and current employers.

Benson says he’s excited about the candidates they have selected and credited city staff and the executive search firm they hired on brining them such good candidates.

Benson says they plan to announce the names of the candidatures Wednesday afternoon.
