RIVERSIDE: Diverse qualities sought in new city manager
"Brad, and not Brad" is the only way to describe what Riverside City Council members and residents say they'll be looking for in a replacement for City Manager Brad Hudson, who will leave his post in mid-August.
After six years in Riverside, Hudson has accepted a job as Sacramento County's top executive. The surprise announcement Tuesday put an exclamation point on Hudson's sometimes turbulent Riverside career.
City officials have not yet named an interim city manager, but Mayor Ron Loveridge said it will be an internal pick who likely will be named after next Tuesday's council meeting. Council members also will discuss the search process and what they're looking for in a city manager.
On Wednesday, officials and residents said the city needs an experienced, aggressive leader who can keep up the momentum of the Renaissance, a $1.57 billion public works initiative Hudson spearheaded. The Renaissance is 90 percent done but still has major projects under way, such as a convention center expansion and railroad underpasses.
"We've built a lot of things in the city. Now we've got to operate them and get the return on all our investments," said Tom Evans, a former interim city manager.
Several people said they want a city manager who can build consensus and work with the community. Hudson is adept at gaining support for his ideas on the council, but he has angered some residents for forging ahead before getting public input and for disregarding criticism.
Hudson was improving at public outreach, Councilman Mike Gardner said, but "I'd like to see the city do more outreach and early discussion with people who are affected by proposed projects or concepts."
Others said the next city manager should support historic preservation, increase transparency, understand the city's components such as parks and transportation, and show sound fiscal management. The long list of criteria hints at what a challenge the job will be.
"There's a reason that city managers typically don't last longer than three to five years," Gardner said. "Either you make your bosses mad and they replace you, or you make the citizenry mad to some extent and they complain about you.
