City manager Kim Kiefer was set to retire at the end of the year after 32 years working for the City and Borough of Juneau. She’s now postponed that to the end of April to help with the budget development process.
The position opening was advertised in newspapers around the state, with organizations including the Alaska Municipal League, and relevant job boards. There were 33 applicants.
“They had some folks in the pool that they thought were possibilities, but they didn’t feel like they had enough of a selection so they’ve extended the recruitment period,” said Mila Cosgrove, the city’s human resources director.
Cosgrove said the assembly will repost the job in mid-December.
The assembly plans to review the applicant pool again in January and hopes to make a selection by the end of February.
