Chief Administrative Officer Recruitment Services
Hiring a City Administrator/Manager is one of the most important responsibilities a City Council has. They function as the critical link between the Council and staff. The Administrator/Manager/Director assures that council policy becomes reality in day-to-day services and that those services are delivered effectively. The optimal relationship between the Manager and the Council, employees, and the community is different for each city, and it is important that the process used to select the City Manager accurately reflect a Community’s values, culture, and current needs.
The Mid-Willamette Valley Council of Governments (COG) assists its Member Organizations in developing a thorough, well-defined process to select the best candidate possible to be your next City Manager.
The COG uses a Hybrid Method (from the International City County Management Organization) and works with the Council/Directors and staff to conduct the recruitment themselves and provides support for this by working with the governing body to facilitate the discussion, develop the Manager profile, and determine the structure of the recruitment process; as well as helping to review résumés, conduct reference checks, and structure the interview process. While the COG will recommend best practices, the control and outcome determination of same is the City Council’s.
The Rate Structures for Recruitments are based upon population of the Jurisdiction.
Please reach out to COG Executive Director Scott Dadson at 503-540-1601 for further information and discussion.
