Othello to revert to previous practice, hire city administrator

OTHELLO — The mayor of Othello will not simultaneously be city administrator under the terms of an ordinance amended by Othello City Council members Monday on a unanimous vote. The revisions came at the request of council member John Lallas. “I want to repeal that resolution,” Lallas said at the Nov. 10 council meeting. “The city of Othello goes back to a city administrator-mayor city.”
