Forty candidates vie for city's top job

Sisters City Councilors are reviewing 40 applications for the position of city administrator.

Barbara Warren is retiring from that post, effective December 31 (she will stay on past that date if the council needs the time to hire her successor).

The League of Oregon Cities helped Sisters conduct a candidate search and has compiled the applications. Ten candidates are considered "A list" candidates by the league. Among them is Sisters' current planning director Neil Thompson.

The league hopes the city can cull the list down to a set of finalists by December 29. The league will conduct background checks on the finalists and the city will then set up a series of interviews.

Candidates applied from throughout the West.

"There's some good candidates in there," she said. "There's some very good candidates."
