City Council has selected three finalists for the City Manager recruitment, out of an initial applicant pool of 64.

Read more about the candidates.

While ultimately, City Council will make the final hiring decision, they are soliciting input from the community during this final phase. Please save the date for an online community forum hosted by Mayor Travis Stovall. Each candidate will have thirty minutes to answer questions.

To date, these three candidates have participated in individual interviews with the City.s executive recruiter as well as semi-finalist interviews with the current and elected Mayor and Council. Standard background and reference checks will also be conducted during this process.

The forum will not allow for live questions from the audience. However, if you have a question you.d like to ask the three finalists, please submit for consideration by noon, Friday, Jan. 8 to Communications@GreshamOregon.gov. Given limited time with each candidate, not every question may be asked.

After the forum, attendees will have the opportunity to provide feedback about the candidates through an online survey. Feedback will be shared with Council for their consideration as they make their next decision.

Interpretation will be provided upon advance request. Please notify Alex Logue at Alex.Logue@GreshamOregon.gov or 503-618-3214 by noon, Thursday, Jan. 7.
