 The City of Brainerd will notice some changes with its leadership after a top administrator resigned. After 35 years in public service, two of them spent as the Brainerd City Administrator, Jim Thorin, is resigning from the position. Last night the City Council approved the resignation to be effective in October. His future plans include retirement, but there are many things he will miss about serving the community of Brainerd. It's working with the citizens firsthand, with council members, interacting between one organization and another, bridging the gap in information, and also aspiring to do greater things for the community for whom I am working at this point, Brainerd. Jim and his wife will be moving back to the small town of Glenwood, Minnesota to enjoy what they hope to be a peaceful retirement.
