Requirements
The City Council is interested in candidates who have a sense of municipal management but have yet to serve in the first chair role. Litchfield embraces small town life where community festivals and good schools matter. Our next city manager must possess the skills to build teamwork throughout the organization and community.
We are most interested in candidates who strive for exceptional customer service and will become a proud member of the Litchfield community. Treat Litchfield as if you are a native Terrier.
