ISHPEMING -- The Ishpeming City Council is closer to filling their vacant city manager position.

Former City Manager Alan Bakalarski and Interim City Manager Jim Bjorne performed a detailed background check this past week.
The council also voted to extend Bakalarski's contract so he can help with the negotiations.
They hope to have everything worked out by February 3 at their next regular meeting, and they hope Ottenwess will be in office by March 8.
