City of Platteville officials have selected a new city manager after a two-month search. The Platteville Common Council on Tuesday unanimously approved a contract to hire current Richland County Administrator Clinton Langreck. A report says he will make $120,000 per year in his new role with a start date of May 1st. Langreck, who is originally from Mineral Point, will replace former Platteville City Manager Adam Ruechel, who left the position in January to take a financial specialist position with Robert W. Baird & Co. Langreck previously worked as personnel director for Green County in Wisconsin for about three years and as human resource manager and administrative coordinator for Clark County in Wisconsin for about three years. He also spent time in the armed forces in Iraq.
