Search for Atherton manager extended

It is my understanding the council cannot agree on the new city manager. Out of 58 candidates they can't agree on a single one. saying many were qualified, but were not the right fit. The entire council only got to interview 3 of the 58 screened by Kathy Mckeithen, Bill Widmer, and Mrs. DellaSanta

Mayor Widmer, Councilwoman Kathy McKeithen, and Ms. DellaSanta served on an ad-hoc committee overseeing the search for candidates by Bob Murray & Associates.

The search firm narrowed the field of candidates to seven, and the ad-hoc committee chose three, who were interviewed by the full council.

"It is our hope that we fill this position sooner rather than later," he said, adding, "We need to get a good fit, and we need to have the support" of at least most of the council's five members.


"Theresa is doing a great job in running the town and this has provided us the flexibility to find the right candidate," the mayor said in a written announcement. "That being said, it is a high priority task for all of us to get this leadership position filled."

"After these meetings, the full council was not in agreement that any candidate was acceptable," Mr. Widmer said in his written announcement. "While all candidates were well experienced, the council is focused on fit and knowledge of our community."
