Finalists for city manager to be announced

The selection process for a new Sisters city manager is underway, with the announcement of the finalist candidates slated for the Wednesday, September 26 City Council meeting at City Hall at 6:30 p.m. The Nugget incorrectly reported last week that the final manager selection would be made on that date.

The timetable for the rest of the process is still in a tentative mode based on candidate and venue availability, according to City Recorder, Kerry Prosser.

The candidates will be coming to Sisters for interviews with the Council, with a citizen committee, and to meet with City staff. During that same time period there will be a public meet-and-greet for Sisters residents to have a chance to meet and talk with all three candidates. The date, time, and location of that event has yet to be determined.

After all of those meetings, Council will make their selection, an offer will be extended to the candidate who will hopefully accept the position, and a public announcement will be made.

The final step will involve contract negotiations between the City and their choice for city manager.
