Local meeting primer: Three Rivers City Commission
The Three Rivers City Commission will weigh which firm will conduct the search for its new city manager when it meets tonight, Tuesday, October 20. City Manager Joe Bippus will step down on January 14, 2027 after more than two decades at the helm.
Mayor Angel Johnston, who has been critical of Bippus since she was elected last November, expressed frustration with the lack of options presented to conduct the search, and added the city should take its time selecting Bippus’ replacement.
