City manager search will gear up soon

Recruitment for a new city manager for Sisters will go public after the first of the year. Jensen Strategies of Portland, who oversaw the first recruitment effort, will lead the new one beginning in January 2023. The first search resulted in the city rejecting all candidates.

During December 2022, work behind the scenes included a few adjustments to the profile, an interview with new City counselor Susan Cobb to bring her up to speed, and brochure edits. At their December 14 meeting, Council approved the profile and hiring process with minor revisions as part of the Consent Agenda.

The City will advertise for the position starting January 30-February 26, 2023. Interviews and selection is anticipated in March.
