Ex-Ogdensburg manager will meet with Watertown council Tuesday

Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham has scheduled a meeting on Tuesday to discuss what the Watertown City Council should do next in light of the decision to part ways with City Manager Mary M. Corriveau.

He has arranged to bring in former Ogdensburg City Manager John C. Krol to see if council members would like to hire him as a consultant to help them with the search process for a new city manager.

If council members would like him to get involved, Mr. Krol could help them come up with a plan for an interim city manager, determine the extent of the search and how to advertise for the position.

Mr. Krol, who retired from the Ogdensburg position in 2005 and worked there for 17 years, was a finalist for the Watertown city manager’s job in 2003 but took himself out of the running before Mrs. Corriveau was appointed.

Council members will meet at 7 p.m. in the third-floor council chambers at City Hall.
