The new city manager will replace Randy Tweet, who retires in December.
"They may want to look for someone that has a strong background in economic development. They may want to look for someone that has a strong background in community development. They may want to look for someone young with fresh ideas. They may want to look for someone who's been a city manager in other places."
Since being appointed City Manager in 2017, Tweet has overseen several projects, including the construction of a new water filtration building and the resurfacing of 18th Avenue and 38th Street.
"The Council is a legislative body that sets the bigger priorities and the City manager is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the city. So all of the directors from the different departments--police department, fire department, public works department, all report to the City Manager."
In Monday's meeting, the council and GovHR will present a draft of the recruitment schedule.
The new City Manager will be responsible for overseeing upcoming projects like the construction of a new federal courthouse, new YWCA and YMCA buildings, and downtown redevelopment. They will also help allocate $26 million from the American Recovery Act in early 2022.
