The St. Joseph City Commission is expected to approve a pair of changes tonight to top personnel in the city. City Manager John Hodgson is requesting the commission approve the appointment of Deputy Public Safety Director Steve Neubecker to the post of interim director, while Public Works Director Tom MacDonald is expected to be approved as the acting assistant city manager. The moves are the result of the abrupt resignation Friday of Public Safety Director Brian Uridge. The official explanation from Hodgson is Uridge is leaving for a private sector opportunity, but the resignation was effective immediately. WSJM News is aware of rumors surrounding the exit of the now-former director, but Berrien County Prosecutor Michael Sepic tells us there is no criminal investigation underway, and he knows nothing more than has been reported today about the situation.

Tonight’s city commission meeting is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. at St. Joseph City Hall.
