City Manager - City of Winters, California

Are you ready to make your mark? This is one of the best City Manager opportunities available in years!  A full-service city, supportive and engaged City Council, and a small-town and walkable atmosphere with good schools, recreation, culture, community volunteerism, and a superior quality of life!  

Winters has a population of approximately 7,300 residents (52% Hispanic) and is located in the southwestern corner of Yolo County.  This full-service city has a small, but mighty full-time equivalent staff of 48 employees and five employee associations.  The City’s Fiscal Year 2020/21 total budget is $12.3 million. 

The Winters Council and community is looking for an outgoing and consistent leader who is fiscally conservative but progressive in their approach.  With recent and upcoming retirements of long-tenured staff, you’ll have the opportunity to build your own team.  The ideal candidate embraces diversity, is a people person, and is passionate for the small-town character of the community.  Experience in a local government agency and a strong understanding of municipal finance and budgeting, economic development, housing, and grant writing is desired.  

This is an excellent opportunity to become a City Manager, and Assistant City Managers, Deputy City Managers, department heads, and “up-and-comers” are encouraged to apply.  A Bachelor’s degree with major course work in public administration, business administration, or a related field is required; a Master’s degree is desirable.

Annual salary range is $160,000 to $185,000 DOQE.  CalPERS 2% @ 55 Classic.  The City of Winters participates in Social Security and Medicare.
