The Eau Claire City Council narrowed the search for a new city manager down to three candidates.

Mike Huggins is the current Director of Community Development and Assistant City Manager in Eau Claire.

Neal Beets currently serves as city manager in Roseville, Minnesota and Richard Fursman just finished a six year run as city manager in Maplewood, Minnesota.

One of the three will replace Don Norell, who left last December. The Council hopes to name the new city manager by the end of the month.
