Mendota Heights To Hire New City Administrator

MENDOTA HEIGHTS, MN — The Mendota Heights City Council will hire a new city administrator at its July 6 meeting, the city said.

City Council interviewed Cheryl Jacobson, the current assistant city administrator, on June 8 for the position and conditionally offered her the job and she accepted, the city said.

Current city administrator Mark McNeill recently told City Council that he will retire at the end of September, the city said. McNeill and Jacobson will work together to ensure a smooth transition, the city said.

“We are thrilled that Cheryl Jacobson has accepted the position of City Administrator," Mayor Stephanie Levine said. "She understands and appreciates our community and has the broad skill set and experience to guide our city as we work to accomplish our strategic goals.”
