Public Invited to Provide Input on City Manager Search
Posted 2/21/2008

A representative of Alliance Resources Consulting LLC, the firm hired to assist Gaithersburg in its search for a new City Manager, is seeking input from the public at a Community Open House on Thursday, February 28 from 6 to 8 p.m. in the City Hall Gallery, 31 South Summit Avenue in Olde Towne Gaithersburg.

Mr. Eric Middleton of Alliance Resources will host the event, and would like to hear suggestions from residents, businesses and organizations as to the ideal qualities and qualifications for the next City Manager.  Please note that the Open House will not be televised.

 With input from elected officials, staff and a broad cross section of the community, Alliance Resources will then conduct a national search, with the entire process expected to take approximately six months.

David B. Humpton retired on October 26, 2007 after twenty two and a half years of service to Gaithersburg, serving as City Manager since 1995.  James D. Arnoult, Director of the Department of Public Works, Parks Maintenance and Engineering, has been Acting City Manager since Mr. Humpton’s departure.

For more information please contact Sarah Paxton, Executive Assistant to the Acting City Manager, at 301-258-6310, or cityhall@gaithersburgmd.gov.
