Blaine finance director resigns

The city of Blaine’s finance director Dan Heverling resigned from his position at the end of February.

Karla Flaming, the department’s senior accountant, will serve as interim director. City manager Mike Harmon told Blaine councilmembers during their February 26 meeting that city staff was sorting through 10 applications after it closed the job posting the week before.

Heverling has worked as finance director since 2021. He mentioned at previous council meetings his interest in returning to his former career in law enforcement, potentially as an officer in Blaine.

“We’re sad to see him go and we wish him well on his future endeavors, whatever those may be,” Harmon said.
