Escanaba City Manager Patrick Jordan has been offered a job as administrator of downstate Ionia County. The Ionia County Board of Commissioners approved an employment agreement with Jordan on Tuesday. The Ionia Sentinel Standard says the contract is contingent on final review by the county attorney and a background check from the Michigan Municipal League. 

 

The Escanaba City Council offered a new contract to Jordan that he refused to accept in place of his current contact. Last night, Jordan officially turned it down.
