Mount Carmel Bma Votes 5-2 To Keep City Administrator

MOUNT CARMEL — The Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted 5-2 Thursday to keep City Administrator Mike Housewright after two citizens, the mayor, and an aldermen spoke out in his favor. An ordinance requested last month by Alderman Steven McLain to eliminate Housewright’s position was presented to the BMA at its regular monthly meeting. However, McLain stated he didn’t approve of the ordinance draft as it was presented to the BMA Thursday because it transferred the city administrator’s power to hire, fire and discipline employees to the department heads. “I think this is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever read, the reason being, our department heads are all new,” McLain said.
