Platteville ceremonially swears in new city manager

Platteville — The Common Council ceremonially sworn in the city's newly appointed city manager at its June 9 meeting in the council chambers.

During a brief ceremony before the regular agenda, the appointee, identified in the transcript as Casmuski, repeated the oath of office and thanked council members and staff for the opportunity. "I'm super excited to hit the ground running," Casmuski said, adding she looked forward to working with "an amazing team" and the city's elected officials.

Council members and family members accompanied the new manager at the dais; the manager noted the presence of her husband and children and offered short remarks before the meeting moved on to the consent agenda.

The swearing-in was ceremonial; the council proceeded to routine business, including approval of the consent agenda and announcements about community events. The city manager's appointment and its effective date were presented as part of earlier personnel actions leading up to the ceremony.
