Karen Mushong

The City of Cedar Springs is again looking for another Finance Director.

It was announced last week that current Karen Mushong, the city’s current Finance Director, has been selected to take over that same position in the City of East Grand Rapids.

Mushong was hired by Cedar Springs in November 2011 to take over as Finance Director, when Linda Lehman left to take over the same position in Rockford. According to Cedar Springs City Manager Thad Taylor, her last day on the job is expected to be April 23.

Taylor said the vacancy will be advertised, and he will bring a transition plan to the Cedar Springs City Council for approval on April 11. He said they hope to have someone by the first of June.

“We have a part time Deputy Finance Director/treasurer that will need to do a little more, and coupled with the transition plan I’ve put together, we’ll have it covered,” said Taylor.
