After a long and careful process, the Branson Board of Aldermen has unanimously decided to offer the position of City Administrator to Dean Kruitof, who is currently serving as the Deputy City Administrator in Fort Smith, AR. Mayor Raeanne Presley made the announcement on Tuesday morning, May 20 during the Branson Board of Alderman’s work session meeting.
In making the short announcement the Mayor said that Kruitof was pleased and that they are now negotiating with him as to finalization of a contract. She went on to say that although the details have not been worked out yet she is hopeful that they will be worked out within a week and that Kruitof will be on board in about a month.
