Logan dismisses Thompson as village manager

The Village of Logan is once again without a Manager following a special executive session held this morning by the Village Council.

"Trevor Thompson is no longer the manager of the Village of Logan," said Mayor Russell Feerer.

Feerer would elaborate on Thompson, citing personnel matters.

The special meeting, advertised locally since Friday, was held at the Village Office. Feerer said council members Benny Newton and Leslie Osborn exited the executive session and following a regular session vote Thompson was no longer the Village Manager.

Thompson, who could not be reached for comment, was hired in last August to replace then-interim manager Larry Wallin.

Wallin had retired as manager in 2016 but was re-hired in 2017 after his successor resigned.

Feerer said he will share the duties of manager with Village Clerk/Treasurer Rosalie Rachor until a new manager is hired.

Feerer is serving as mayor until the upcoming March 6 Municipal Election.

In that election Feerer is running against Dave E. Shivers for a two year term as council member position 2.

Tommy J. Smith and David L. Babb are seeking election as Mayor.

"We (Feerer and Rachor) will do that we can to ensure the day to day operations and issues are handled until a new manager can be hired," Feerer said.
