Finally, a city administrator:

Tuan’s military experience guided him towards a career in engineering. Following the completion of his degree from UND in Grand Forks, he came to Williston six years ago.

“I want to this to be the best little city in America,” Tuan said at the meet and greet with the final candidates held in August. “We currently have a pretty strong engine that drives the economy. The growth so far has been healthy. Quality of life is coming along right behind it.”

The position was posted in May by a city-selected consulting firm, Strategic Government Solutions.The city received 23 applicants from 13 states and varying backgrounds to during its  nationwide search for candidates who would reflect the needs and vision of the Williston community.
