The St Joseph City Council announced their selection for the next city manager.
They will promote within and Public Works Director Bruce Woody will take the job.
He’s worked for St Joseph since 1997 Woody will start immediately as the interim city manager. The title will become permanent once a contract is reached with the city.
That relieves Police Chief Chris Conally of the city manager duties who severed as the interim manager since March.
Former city manager Vince Capell was to retire in May, but left the city in march for a job in Texas.
The city hired a firm in January for $23,000 to conduct a nationwide search. Five finalist, including Woody, were announced in June.
