Polson, Motnana Searching for New City Manager

Current manager leaves in June; filed lawsuit for breach of contract

The city of Polson is looking for a new city manager to replace Todd Crossett, who will be leaving in June. The search comes as lawyers are sorting out a lawsuit Crossett filed against the city in March, alleging Polson owed him nearly $50,000 in lost wages and severance pay.
Mayor Pat DeVries said the matter was settled out of court, but attorneys for the city and Crossett could not be reached or would not comment on the matter.

Crossett arrived in Polson in June 2009, after the position had been empty for more than a year. During the summer of 2008, the city’s first-ever manager, Jay Henry, resigned. Before taking the job in Polson, Crossett was a businessman and county commissioner in Bonner County, Idaho. He has a master’s degree in international management and development.
