Scottsdale council may choose city manager this week
Source: AZCentral.com / Received: 05/20/13 03:30:03 PM
The Scottsdale City Council on Wednesday could go into a closed-door meeting to discuss appointing a new city manager. The 3 p.m. meeting could result in the council's selection of a new manager out of three finalists: Fritz Behring, Charles Meyer and Thomas Wilson.- Behring has been the Pinal County manager since 2010. He has more than 20 years of experience in government administration and served as city manager of Central City, Neb., Fort Meade, Fla. and Deltona, Fla, and county manager of Clay County, Fla.
- Meyer was Tempe's city manager from 2007 to 2013. He previously served as chief operating officer for Virginia Beach, Va.; city manager of St. Louis Park, Minn.; and county manager of Genesee County, N.Y. Meyer was fired by the Tempe City Council in January.- Wilson has been assistant city manager for development services of Palm Springs, Calif., since 2005. He has served as city manager of Milpitas, Calif., Oceanside, Calif. and Tucson. Wilson was Scottsdale's city attorney in the late 1980s.The council is expected to go into executive session to discuss the finalists, but any formal action, such as directing staff to negotiate with a candidate, would have to occur in a public vote afterward.Former City Manager David Richert resigned last summer, citing a perceived lack of support from some council members. Dan Worth, Scottsdale's public-works executive director, has taken over on an interim basis.
