Lacey city manager finalists set to visit the city in April
Lacey City Council reviewed city manager applications in executive session on Thursday, then Mayor Andy Ryder announced that the city manager finalists are tentatively set to visit April 10-12.
The finalists will tour the city on April 10, followed by a community reception at the Lacey Community Center on Pacific Avenue. The finalists will be interviewed all day on April 11, Ryder said, then April 12 will be reserved for any follow up activities.
“I hope to negotiate a contract with our finalist within the following week,” Ryder said.
The city is in need of a city manager after former longtime manager Scott Spence left to be the city manager in Astoria, Oregon. Lacey’s interim city manager is Rick Walk, the city’s Community and Economic Development Director.
The city has been working with GMP Consultants of Snoqualmie to find candidates for the position. The advertised salary range for the job is $195,000 to $250,000 a year.
