Dan Wendt announced his intent to resign as Vandalia City Manager during an executive session at Wednesday’s night city council meeting, a city spokesperson told News Center 7.

He will be on paid administrative leave until a separation agreement is reached.

Neither Wendt nor city leaders gave a reason for his resignation.

The city posted the announcement on social media.

Wendt was named the city manager back in 2021.

Rob Cron has been appointed the acting city manager.
