In April 2024, the Vancouver City Council launched a nationwide recruitment to hire Vancouver’s next city manager. The City is conducting a search due to the upcoming retirement of current city manager Eric Holmes on Oct. 1.
Share your questions for Vancouver's next City Manager below. Candidates will respond to frequently asked questions during community forums in July.
Hiring process
The City is committed to a transparent and open search. The City Council has formed a subcommittee to lead the search. The subcommittee is made up of Mayor Anne McEnerny-Ogle, Mayor Pro-Tem Eric Paulson and Councilmember Bart Hansen. The entire Council will determine who will be hired.
The City has contracted with Bob Murray and Associates to help manage the recruitment. The goal is to appoint Vancouver’s next city manager in early fall. The public is invited to participate by providing input that will inform the hiring process.
Vancouver operates under a council-manager form of government, meaning the City Council appoints a city manager to serve as the City’s chief executive.
Some of the duties the city manager is responsible for include developing the biennial budget, advising council on policy issues and carrying our council’s policy direction through the day-to-day management and operations of all City departments, except the City Attorney’s Office that reports directly to the City Council.
