The Finalists:
* *Mark Eisenbarth: *Eisenbarth brings nearly two decades of public service experience, currently serving as the County Administrator for Muskegon County, Michigan. His leadership has focused on financial stewardship, strategic planning, and public-private partnerships. During his tenure, Muskegon County’s unassigned fund balance rose from 14% to 27%, and he helped secure more than $85 million in competitive grant funding—including collaborations with Ottawa County. He also oversaw initiatives that resulted in over $1 billion in community investment and has successfully negotiated multiple collective bargaining agreements.
* *Michael Tremblay: *Tremblay is a retiring U.S. Army officer and two-time Brigade Commander with over 20 years of executive leadership. He served as City Manager (Garrison Commander) of USAG Humphreys in South Korea, overseeing a $1.1 billion capital improvement budget and leading one of the largest infrastructure transformations in the region. Tremblay has deep experience in workforce development, municipal operations, crisis response, and strategic planning. His background also includes managing a $214 million operating budget and leading a team of over 2,400 employees across 280 locations.
The third finalist, Glen Salyer, notified Ottawa County late yesterday that he has withdrawn from consideration for the Administrator position.
