Luverne Mayor Pat Baustian administers the oath of office to Luverne’s new city administrator, Jill Wolf, at the start of the City Council meeting Tuesday night, Dec. 20, in council chambers of Luverne City Hall. Wolf, who worked from 2004 to 2009 as Luverne’s Economic Development Authority director, replaces City Administrator John Call who retired this month after 17 years in the position. Wolf has been training with Call and department heads in the past few weeks. Baustian said the entire council was in agreement about hiring Wolf in October. “We were looking for an administrator who could make a seamless transition, who understood that we have no ‘issues to be fixed’ and someone who will keep Luverne on the path it has been on in terms of housing, day care and economic development,” Baustian said. “Jill has worked here before and understands our priorities.”
