City Manager Search Begins At City Hall

Yakima Valley Business Times Publisher Bruce Smith thinks there's a good chance voters will see the strong mayor issue back on the ballot in November. Smith says he's not concerned that it could make the job of hiring a new city manager a little complicated. As that possibility brews in the background the city council is moving forward with talking with National job search firms today to begin the process of finding a replacement for retiring City Manager Dick Zais. You are invited to City Hall to watch the council interview officials from 3 different job search firms. The interviews begin at 1 this afternoon.
