Springfield City Council

After an online town hall Tuesday night and breakfast muffins with community stakeholder groups the next morning, three finalists for the Springfield city manager job faced the news media.

Three candidates for Springfield's open city manager job had a public interview Tuesday night. They'll continue interview activities with a community stakeholders breakfast Wednesday morning, followed by meetings with city staff and an interview by City Council.

Hardinger defeated her opponent Eric Pauly for General Seat A.

Bruce Adib-Yazdi defeated incumbent Matt Simpson on Tuesday.

Here are results from across the region, including Greene and Christian Counties.

The proposed project would provide years of increased capacity at Noble Hill Sanitary Landfill, which expects to take in some 1,075 tons of trash per day.

A few days ago, KSMU’s Gregory Holman caught up with candidates for Springfield mayor and city council.

The city manager position's starting pay has been increased to $350,000. When previous city manager Jason Gage was hired in 2018, he was paid $220,000 per year. He received a severance package worth more than $415,000 upon his resignation.

Heather Hardinger and Eric Pauly are running for citywide General Seat A, and Matthew Simpson and Bruce Adib-Yazdi are running for Zone 4 — the seat covering southeast Springfield — in the April 8 municipal election.

For the second time since 2020, people living in southeast Springfield’s Galloway area have delivered a bundle of petition signatures to the City of Springfield — a sign of yet another confrontation between neighborhoods and Springfield government.
