For John, BLUF: Our City Manager, Ms Eileen Donoghue, Esq, is looking to leave her office on 11 April, or the City Council has picked a replacement, whichever is later. Nothing to see here; just move along.

Here is the lede plus three:
City Manager Eileen Donoghue’s time as the city’s chief executive is coming to an end.First, thank you to Eileen Donoghue, Esq, for her work as City Manager. This is on top of her time as Mayor and State Senator. During this period of danger and confusion she has managed to keep our City on a good course.When the City Council met Tuesday, Donoghue initially said she was not seeking to negotiate a new contract. Instead, she was seeking to continue in her role for one year, as provided by the current agreement.
However, after Donoghue and councilors emerged from an executive session in the Mayor’s Reception Room almost an hour and a half later, her message was different.
“After much discussion, with the council and with me, it’s clear that the council would like a longer-term commitment and contract of three years or maybe even more,” Donoghue said. “I said previously that is not something I wanted to do, other than one year. So we don’t have an agreement between myself and the council.”
With her contract up on 11 April, Ms Donoghue seems to be looking forward to retirement, and well deserved. Her agreement with the City Council is that she will leave on her contract termintion date, or, if no replacement is in hand, when one is on contract.
Would she be available to head up UMass Lowell?
Regards — Cliff
