Tweet Appointed Interim City Manager

City of Rock Island

It's now official, Rock Island Public Works director, Randy Tweet, will serve as interim city manager. Mayor Dennis Pauley announced his selection Monday morning.

Tweet has worked for the city for 16 years, and will serve as interim city manager until after a nationwide search is held, and a permanent manager hired.
 He takes over from Thomas Thomas who resigned last month. 

Rock Island aldermen recently decided to postpone a search until after the city council election next spring.

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
