The City Council invites residents and members of the business community to attend a public reception on Friday night, April 4, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm on the Concourse at City Hall to meet the Finalists for the position of Bellevue’s next City Manager.
Under the Council/Manager form of government, a professional, committed and non-partisan Manager is selected by the City Council to function as the City’s chief executive officer and administer the day-to-day operations of the City. The city manager works closely with the Council to carry out their vision for the city and with the community to listen to and integrate many viewpoints to help them achieve sound decisions. Councilmembers also depend on the city manager’s knowledge and integrity as they carry out their duties as trustees of the public good for the City. The city manager is responsible for the enforcement of all laws and ordinances of the City. He or she must be able to create a management team that is accountable and responsive to the community and to lead city staff in delivering high quality customer service, programs and projects.
The City Council welcomes public feedback on the qualities that each of the four Finalists will bring to the position of City Manager. Comment cards will be provided at the reception on which to capture your thoughts. Feedback can also be provided at [email protected].
