A hiring panel composed of Mayor Mark Sutcliffe and three city councillors approved the hiring of Odgers Berndston to assist the search for a new top bureaucrat on Friday, and established the timeline for the recruitment and appointment process.
Steve Kanellakos resigned in November as city manager, two days before the release of the public inquiry's final report into Stage 1 of Ottawa's light rail transit system. Council appointed treasurer Wendy Stephanson as interim city manager.
The city manager job is considered Ottawa's highest bureaucrat, and "exercises general control and management of the affairs of the municipality for the purpose of ensuring the efficient and effective operation of the municipality," a staff report for the hiring panel says. Staff say the city manager also, "provides effective liaison between council and city staff, committees of council, elected representatives, as well as local boards, commissions and agencies.
