The Ypsilanti Council will begin interviewing candidates to permanently fill the vacant city manager's position.

City Clerk Frances McMullan has been serving as the interim city manager since the previous interim city manager the city hired quit after a week.

City Council will interview candidates between 6:30 p.m. and 8 p.m on April 26 and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m on April 27. The interviews will take place in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 1 S. Huron St.

Among the candidates are :

  • Darrell Fecho, who has served as township manager in Brighton and Scio Townships.
  • Ralph Lange, who served as director of the Monroe County Road Commission.
  • Frances McMullan, the current Ypsilanti City Clerk and interim City Manager.
  • Jered Ottenwess, who served as city manager in Trenton, FL.
  • Brian Vick, a former city manager in Grosse Pointe Shores.

Former City Manager Ed Koryzno departed for a position with the state treasury office in January. Interim City Manager John Hansen abruptly quit after he was accused of harassing a city employee, and McMullan took over as interim city manager after that.
