CITY ADMINISTRATOR RECRUITMENT NOTICE

The City of Harrisburg, Oregon is seeking a new City Administrator.  Harrisburg offers the benefits of a small town (Pop. 3,700) but with ready access to the City of Eugene, and the University of Oregon, as well as the City of Corvallis, and Oregon State University.  There are also numerous cultural, recreational, and educational opportunities afforded by the Willamette River and Willamette Valley region.

The City Administrator functions as the city CEO under the direction of a very stable and knowledgeable Mayor and City Council.  In addition, the current staff of 12 have almost all been in place for some years and the city enjoys remarkably little employee turnover.  City public safety needs are handled independently by the Linn County Sheriff and the Harrisburg Rural Fire Protection District.

Harrisburg is currently pursuing a major water system improvement plan along with a focus on upgrading city streets and the downtown.  The City Council welcomes new businesses and housing opportunities and desires to see the town grow and flourish.

The City seeks a dedicated and flexible leader who is a team player.  While local government experience is desired, those individuals with strong backgrounds in organizations that focus on public service are also encouraged to apply.
