Does Cle Elum need to fill the position being vacated by the resignation of City Administrator Matt Morton?

    Absolutely not! Cle Elum has a population of around 1800 and cannot support a highly-paid administrator. Last year's budget showed $145,000 budgeted for administrator's salary and benefits. How many taxpaying households can continue to support this level of spending? Cle Elum's citizens must live within their budget and the city must, too. And how much economic benefit has having a city administrator brought to this city? Strategic planning needs to come from within--from our mayor, council, city staff and citizens, from people with real connections to this city, who live in this city, who know it and understand it.
