The city of Madras announced Thursday that City Administrator Will Ibershof has resigned from his position.<\/p>\n
The resignation is effective immediately.<\/p>\n
Ibershof submitted his letter of resignation Jan. 14, prompting city leaders to schedule a special meeting at city hall Friday, Jan. 16 to name an interim administrator.<\/p>\n
In a statement, city officials have emphasized that operations and services will continue without disruption during the leadership transition.<\/p>\n
The special session will take place at 9 a.m., Jan. 16.<\/p>\n
Ibershof has served as the city\u2019s top staffer since late 2023, responsible for overseeing day-to-day city operations, coordinating city finances and budgeting, and guiding long-term strategic goals under the direction of the City Council.<\/p>\n
His tenure included significant changes to the city\u2019s police department, including the dismissal of former chief of police Tim Plummer in July.<\/p>\n
City staffers and councilors have declined comment ahead of the special session.<\/p>\n
