ROCHELLE — The Rochelle City Council voted Monday evening to hire Jeff Fiegenschuh (pronounced faygen-shoo) as the city’s new city manager. Fiegenschuh will officially join the Rochelle team on Monday, Sept. 11.
Rochelle’s newest hire comes from the Village of Rantoul — population 12,815 — most recently and before that spent time in Princeton and Windsor Heights, Iowa. He has experience in downtown façade and streetscape projects as well as significant experience in management of a municipal utility.
“I was impressed by the mayor, city council and staff while interviewing for the position in Rochelle,” said Fiegenschuh. “I love the access to transportation, everything happening with the utilities, the overall progressive attitude and focus on the downtown. I see a lot of opportunity to work with the chamber of commerce and Downtown Rochelle Association.”
Fiegenschuh conducted his undergraduate studies at Wayne State College focusing on Political Science and obtained his Masters in Public Administration from the University of Nebraska – Omaha. He has attended the Senior Executive Institute through the University of Virginia and is a Credentialed City Manager with the International City Manager’s Association.
