Nanaimo Council begins search for interim chief administrative officer
NANAIMO — More than two months after their city manager was arrested, Nanaimo Council is now searching for an interim replacement.
During an in-camera meeting Monday morning, councillors voted to begin the search for an interim chief administrative officer. Council was forced to look for new leadership options after a committee of seven senior staff members who were handling the workload stepped back from the duties last Thursday.
A job posting which opened April 10 on the City’s website said they’re seeking expressions of interest from candidates for the role of interim CAO.
“Candidates should have experience in a senior management role within a local government setting, preferably in the position of CAO, and be readily available to assume the duties of the position as soon as possible,” the posting said.
