The ideal candidate is a collaborative and engaging leader who provides meaningful leadership in a large and progressive organization. Vision-oriented with strong interpersonal skills, the candidate brings a genuine belief in the value of community engagement and building for the future. The successful candidate brings credibility and demonstrated experience working effectively with elected officials, high performing staff and external constituents. The City Manager possesses considerable experience working with a wide range of partner groups to implement innovative initiatives and can move from consultation to results in an inclusive and decisive way.

The targeted salary range for this position is $320,000 – $378,000 annually, supplemented by a competitive total rewards package.
