The four candidates for Janesville City Manager got the opportunity to meet members of the public during an open community forum Thursday evening at the Rotary Botanical Gardens.

Kevin Lahner felt his background in economic development and developing staff make him a good fit for the role, while Todd Wolf says his history working in private business gives him a unique perspective.

Scott Feldt says having worked in three different states and different levels of government allow him to bring a unique perspective, and George Koczwara say he’s done all facets of working in the government and is excited about the potential of Janesville.

The city brought the four candidates to Janesville as part of interview activities Thursday and Friday.
