City of Sheridan hunts fo r city adm inistrator
Help wanted- - experienced city
administrator, apply at Sheridan
City Hall. While that may not
have been exactly the way the
ad wâs worded that is basically
thé way the city of Sheridan went
about looking for. a new city ad
ministrator to replace Bob Wells
who is resigning as of February
1.
When Sheridan first began to
look for a replacement for Wells,
they placed an ad in the publica
tion put out by the League of
Oregon Cities. So far according
to Mayor Charlie Jordan they
have received about 10 applica
tions for the job.
Originally a February 1 dead
line was set for applications,
but now Jordan is having second
thoughts and wishes that it was
sooner. According to the city
ordinances the police chief can
double as the city administrator
and there probably would have
been no problems, but since then
Chief Bomberger has resigned.
The city council was slated to
begin looking over the applica
tions at the city council meeting
of January 22.
At that time it would be de
cided how many of the applica- >
tions would be pursued further.
From that point the people would
be contacted and interviewed.
“ We want to get as much as
we can get for the least amount
of money,’’ Jordan said.
In fact wages and qualifications
will be tied hand in hand.
In order to be qualified for the
job the applicant must be, ac
cording to Jordan, “ a jack of
all trades. He has to be able
to work with men, be a public
accountant and a sewer, water
and street engineer.”
Jordan is the first to admit
though that they can’t really hope
to find anyone who is that qual
ified, but they want someone who
has a background, in these areas
or is a quick learner.
‘‘It’s important that we find
someone very qualified because
we have to meet rigid state
requirements concerning the
sewers.”
“ We are fortunate though to have
. a vary good man working with
our sewer system, ” Jordan said.
Duties of the city administrator
include the collection of fees
levied Jby the city, preparing
the annual budgets, completing
annual budgets, making annual
departmental reports and reports
on the - activities under his di
rection,- the hearing of com-
plaints, seeing that city leases,
one within 30 days of choosing
the new £ity administrator.
“ I personally would like to find
some guy wno is tired of the
big city and would like to move
here and take a similar job,”
Jordan said.
“ Before we select the new city
administrator he must meet to
the satisfaction of everyone con
cerned.
“ The job is not an easy one;
you can’t please everyone all
of the time. The man will have
to have a good personality and
the capability to handle com
plaints in a mature way,” Jo r
dan said.
