The city of Oaswatomie’s search for a new City Manager is ramping up.
The League of Kansas Municipalities, which is assisting the Osawatomie City Council, with the search through its League Executive/Administrative Position Search Program, began advertising the position after the first of the year. Mayor Mark Govea says before the Holidays, the Council completed a survey for them in December and that information will be used for a position description. An information piece was put together with a basic description of Osawatomie that will be used in the search.
The Council hired Michael Smith to serve as the interim City Manager until former City Manager Don Cawby’s successor can be found. The Council’s goal at the time of hiring Smith and engaging the League’s services was to hire a new City Manager before the City’s contract with Smith expires March 27th.
