Longtime Cottage Grove city administrator Ryan Schroeder will be "parting ways" with the City Council in May, Mayor Myron Bailey said last week.
Schroeder has been chief administrative officer since 1997. During his tenure he managed more than $375 million in commercial and industrial construction, Bailey said. He also led a $15 million City Hall project that was completed in 2012, $2 million under budget, he said.
Schroeder has worked for three mayors and 11 City Council members, as well as five public safety directors, four finance directors and three fire chiefs. He will pursue interim and project assignments in the public, private and nonprofit sectors after he leaves the Cottage Grove job, he said.

Stillwater
County will remodel Public Health floor
Work begins this month on another Washington County remodeling project in Stillwater.
The $1.9 million undertaking will reorganize the fourth floor of the county's Government Center, which wasn't included in a larger remodeling project completed in 2009. The floor houses the county's Department of Public Health and Environment, offices for the Minnesota Extension Office, and the county's Women, Infants and Children clinic.
