Williams has been serving in an interim role as Bethel’s city manager since September. He previously served as Bethel City Manager for two years before being fired in a split vote in 2019. Williams was also Bethel’s port commissioner for many years.
Bower is the city administrator for the city of Wadena, Minnesota, population 4,100. She previously worked as the Bethel City Clerk from 2002 to 2003.
