We need a City Manager who is invested in our town and knows our community values and culture. We need someone willing to take the time to listen to Valdezians, not just come in all gung ho to make changes that don’t make sense here.

Them not be an idiot like the last 3 we’ve had. We haven’t had a real city manager since they fired John Hozey. Bob was a dreamer not grounded in reality, Dennis was incompetent and lazy, Elke was never engaged, didn’t do anything and just collected checks.

Someone that can not only keep up with the usual routine work as well as quickly shift to work well with new personalities of changing city council members and mayor.
– Janice Reynolds
Must be a take-charge person.
