Brad Pendergast doesn’t have the luxury of easing into his position as the new administrator for the City of Scott City. Just seven days into his new job, Pendergast and the council held a 2022 budget workshop to decide spending priorities for the upcoming year. … “It’s good to be kept busy,” says Pendergast. “It’s good to be in a community that’s addressing its needs in a proactive way.” His first order of business when stepping into City Hall on June 8 was to meet with each of the department heads and get a better understanding of their job responsibilities. Pendergast, 33, said it was also important to share that he understands this is an adjustment for everyone since the city hasn’t had someone in the administrator position since 1996.
