The City and Borough of Juneau has named candidates for two top positions: city manager and chief housing officer.
Rorie Watt and Fred Parady are in the running for city manager. Watt is a long-time Juneau resident and the director of engineering and public works. Parady is the deputy commissioner for the Alaska Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development.
City Manager Kim Kiefer plans to step down April 30. She’s held the position for four years. The Juneau Assembly hopes to fill the job before Kiefer leaves so there’s some overlap.
For Juneau’s new housing officer, Scott Ciambor and Jeff Watson are the candidates. The position was created to help with housing development in the community.
Ciambor and Watson gave presentations at Juneau Assembly Chambers Thursday night. Similar presentations for the city manager candidates are scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 9 — starting at 5 p.m.
Editor’s Note: scheduling for the presentations has been updated.
