The Eugene City Council is working with Bob Murray & Associates (BMA) to hire a new City Manager. Sarah Medary, Eugene’s City Manager since 2019, will retire this December.
The City Manager runs the day-to-day operations of Eugene’s government. This person oversees six city departments, manages the city’s budget, implements City Council policies, and makes decisions about the city’s services and operations.
Community members are invited to participate in the following opportunities to provide input on the recruitment process and candidates:
