Moline Interviews City Administrator Candidates

Moline has narrowed its search for city administrator. Tuesday the mayor and city council will interview five candidates, from a pool of 42 applicants for the job.

Which-ever candidate is selected will take over from Interim City Administrator Martin Vanags who's served for nearly a year. He came to the city through a termporary agency for government jobs called GOVHR. He replaced J.D. Schulte who took the job after the previous City Administrator Lisa Kotter was forced to resign.

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.
