WATERTOWN, S.D.(KWAT) –Watertown’s city manager is leaving.
Amanda Mack has turned in her resignation to the city council, and has accepted a similar position in Harrisburg.
Mack was hired as Watertown’s first-ever city manager in May of 2021, and began her duties the following month.
She came to Watertown after serving as city manager of Spencer, Iowa for nearly four years. Prior to that, she was the city manager in Canton and city administrator in Worthing, South Dakota.
Mack tells KWAT News her last day on the job in Watertown will be January 6th. She’ll begin her new job in Harrisburg as city administrator on January 27th.
While happy in Watertown, Mack says the opportunity in Harrisburg and the five year contract she was offered were too good to pass up.
Mack’s time in Watertown came during a period when several major construction projects were completed, including a new airport terminal, ice arena, and Community Foundation Plaza.
