it will be interesting to see if she was asked to resign or decided it was time to move on. without her influence at city hall, how will tiger hills survive? it would seem prudent for the city to have an audit or perhaps a forensic audit of the city's financial affairs. with the city managers position in limbo & now presumably the fiance director position open the city's ability to manage its affairs is in serious doubt! one bright spot about this situation is that perhaps the council can start from scratch & assemble a new management team. i for one do not see norman as a viable city manager considering what has transpired, he has lost the confidence that he had coming into the job. the city needs a strong & dedicated individual to straighten out this mess! the question i now have is, is this just the tip of the iceberg or does it go deeper! with the mayor gone, the city council needs to step up the plate & show some leadership.

Did Norman find somthing that smelled to high heaven in City Hall offices? Is that why he was crucified? I can't wait to see what the outcome will be!!!!!!! Hopefully the truth will come out? .....  ...ned

Of course Rhonda Moen is leaving - and Victoria Simonsen got out as soon as she could as well, even taking a job for lower pay.
They know what is only going to start coming out. The city government is in horrible financial shape due to some really stupid (sorry, no other word even fits) decisions by the council and an inexperienced and unwilling to take advice new city manager.
And its not LGA - it is unrestrained capital spending and obligations that will sink city hall and city taxpayers. Think of it like this. The city can pay it's daily, weekly, monthly bills even with LGA cuts.
The big train wreck coming is the debt service owed. Think of that like your mortgage. Victoria over leveraged the city and now anyone intheknow is leaving like rats off a sinking ship.
Lots of analogies - and all bad ones unfortunately. My opinion only but a pretty informed opinion unfortunately.
Bob Graham can be the last one out - hope he turns off the lights!

Who elected the people who hired the management that hired and kept the people that no one likes? We the voters are ultimately to blame, we must point the finger at us!!!!! ned

It seems to me that the city council perpetually wears blinders as does the AL Tribune staff.

Why isn't Rhonda Moen's job with the city AND the Tiger Hills thing ( an obviously blatant conflict of interest )
a bigger story and itself being investigated  ??

Okay, the other thing that makes me furious...
#1) Moen claims she's a mandatory reporter of wrong-
doing...yet she herself committed the biggest
wrong-doing...the conflict of interest thing
#2) She claims she had to bring attention to the
city manager's CC charges because she's a
mandatory reporter...
WELL THEN, she certainly wasn't doing to job
(as a mandatory reporter) overlooking the
booze and fingernails charges!!
I heard she's going to Owatonna for some job.
