(From the City of Joplin)
Joplin Mayor Mike Seibert and members of the City Council invite the public to join in a Welcoming Reception to meet the candidates for the Joplin City Manager’s position. The reception will be held from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Friday, October 24 in the Main Lobby of Joplin City Hall, 602 South Main. There will be an introduction of the candidates at approximately 5:15 p.m.
Candidates participating in this reception are Sam Anselm of Joplin, Mo., and Stephen Rasmussen from Jefferson City, Mo. Randy Wetmore of Marshalltown, Iowa has withdrawn his application for this position.
Prior to the reception, the candidates will be provided a driving tour of Joplin, including City facilities and parks, corporations, schools and other areas. Media will also have the opportunity to meet and interview the candidates during a session scheduled from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Friday, October 24. Council will conduct the interview portion of their visit on Saturday, October 25.
A third candidate, Dean Kruithof from Bentonville, Ark., will visit Joplin on Saturday, November 1, due to conflicts in his schedule for the October weekend. The community reception to meet Kruithof is set for 11:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. at City Hall.
He will meet with the news media from 10:30 a.m. to 11 a.m., and also have a driving tour of the City, with his interview with Council held later that day.

Stephen Rasmussen from Jefferson City, "Rasmussen was fired from his job at Jefferson City in May of 2011, according to the news site connectmidmissouri.com. The termination came more than a year after an incident in which Rasmussen was found sleeping in his car outside his home, prompting an investigation into whether he was involved in a hit and run investigation or driving drunk, according to a report on the website. Prior to that, Rasmussen served as city administrator in Ottumwa, Iowa. According to an opinion column Rasmussen sent to the Wyoming Tribune Eagle, he is now working as executive vice president of Interim Solutions, which specializes in short-term municipal placements."
