With barren walls and only a few stacks of papers and notebooks on his desk, Great Bend Interim City Administrator George Kolb’s City Hall office has a very minimalist feel.That’s fine with him. The retired veteran city official is only here on a short-term basis, helping to clear the smoke from the recent turmoil surrounding the police department and hold down the fort until a full-time administrator is found.For now, “I’m just trying to get caught up with where everyone is at,” he said in an interview with the Tribune Thursday morning. As his first month on the job winds to a close, he’s been busy touring city facilities, visiting project sites and chatting with as many people as he can.“There are a lot of good things going on,” he said.
