Sac City’s nearly six-month long search for a new city administrator is over after an offer to Jamie Lawrence was verbally accepted. The city council approved a written contract to be submitted to the new hire at their meeting Tuesday night. According to councilman, Bruce Perry, the new city administrator has the skill set the city needed and worked at an organization in Kentucky similar to Region XII Council of Governments.
