Hannum out as city manager
Rawlins is gearing up for a change in leadership after Tuesday’s late-night, surprise vote by city council not to renew the contract of Scott Hannum.
The City’s top three employees — the Manager, Attorney and Judge — are each under contract, which are up for renewal each year, typically in January.
The City of Rawlins functions under a Manager-Council form of government, so an emergency meeting was held Wednesday morning to appoint an interim city manager. Rawlins Finance Director Dustin Ziebold will fill the role until a permanent replacement for Hannum can be found.
Cali O’Hare takes a look at the events of Tuesday night, the history of the Manager-Council form of government in Rawlins, and what comes next for the municipality.
