BALDWIN-  The Baldwin City Council is expected to finalize the appointment of Tiera Morrison as the city’s next city manager Tuesday night, marking the conclusion of a months-long search for the city’s top administrative role.

Morrison, the sole finalist announced in November, is slated for appointment during the regular meeting following the council’s 6:30 p.m. work session.

According to a city release issued Nov. 19, Morrision brings extensive public-section management and public-health experience, having supervised more than 50 employees and overseen multi-million-dollar budgets. City officials said they anticipate her leadership will strengthen long-term planning and day-to-day operations. Morrision is schedule to take her loyalty oath during the meeting.

The council will meet for its final meeting of 2025 with several wastewater and budget-related items set for discussion. Votes are expected on a sewer credit settlement agreement, un-committing funds within the Wastewater Treatment Plant’s Operations and Maintenance reserve, and the purchase of new aerators for the plant. The actions continue the city’s ongoing efforts to update wastewater operations and address associated costs.

Members will also review the 2026 meeting calendar and an acknowledgment from the state Department of Revenue regarding an agreement with automated enforcement provider Altumint.

Residents will also be reminded that 2025 property tax bills have been delayed. Once mailed, payments will be due 60 days from the mailing date. The city will post the date online and include it on water bills.
