GROVES — Groves City Council is tasked with doing something no council before it has had to do in the past twenty years--hire a city manager.

This comes after longtime city manager D.E. Sosa retired.

City councilmembers had no trouble finding a temporary replacement for Sosa. They appointed Chief Lance Billeaud of the Groves Fire Department as interim city manager.

But the real heavy lifting is finding someone permanent for that position. It's a process that will take months.
