At a special meeting of the Eudora City Council on Tuesday night, the council came to a consensus that a search needed to begin for an interim city administrator.

The position became open April 15 when Cheryl Beatty resigned.

Candidates will be culled from a list of former area city administrators. Possible candidates could be announced at Monday’s city council meeting.

Parks and Recreation Director Tammy Hodges also unofficially resigned her position; the announcement will be made officially at Monday’s council meeting.

The council then met in an executive session regarding suspended Public Works Director Delbert Breithaupt’s violations of employee policy.

The council emerged from the session and agreed to give Breithaupt a written reprimand. It also put him on probation until department heads are reappointed, which occurs in May.

Council members would not comment on the policies he violated.
