A Florida firm has been selected to conduct the recruitment of potential candidates for the new Mountlake Terrace City Manager.
Colin Baenziger and Associates (CB&A) has conducted city manager recruitments for a number of Washington cities including Bellevue, Medina, Normandy Park, Sunnyside, Tacoma, Yakima and Fife. Former Richland City Manager John Darrington serves as CB&A’s manager in Washington State.
The ability of an executive search firm to conduct background checks on potential candidates, and their pledge to schedule one-on-one interviews between candidates and City Council members, all at a fixed cost of $23,000, were cited by Mountlake Terrace officials as benefits for contracting with CB&A.
It is anticipated that recruitment for a new City Manager could take approximately four months.
Former City Manager John Caulfield left Mountlake Terrace to become the Lakewood (Pierce County) City Manager on September 3. Mountlake Terrace Assistant City Manager and Administrative Services Director Scott Hugill is currently serving as the city’s Interim City Manager.
