Three finalists for city manager will go before the public next week as the city seeks to fill the role.

Spencer Kyle, Esther Moberg, and Matthew Selby were announced as the finalists on Monday after a four-month search.

City Manager Mark Winstanley, who has held the job since 2001, will retire at the end of June.

Jensen Strategies, a recruiting firm, conducted the search, with candidate interviews, City Council guidance, public surveys and listening sessions.

A former director of administrative services for South Jordan, Utah, Kyle has 16 years of government experience. He has also served as assistant city manager and assistant to the city manager for Saratoga Springs, Utah, and finance intern for Lehi City, Utah.

Moberg, Seaside’s library director and public information officer, has nine years of local government management experience. She served as youth services librarian and volunteer manager for Lane Library District/Creswell Library and assistant librarian for Gearhart Elementary School, among other library positions.

Selby, most recently interim assistant city manager for Yakima, Washington, has 11 years of local government management experience. Earlier, he served as the interim executive director for Middlesex West Chamber of Commerce in Massachusetts, land use and economic development director for Acton, Massachusetts, as well as director of community development and health, economic development coordinator and conservation agent and zoning enforcement officer for Ashland, Massachusetts.

The position is budgeted at up to $140,000. Winstanley receives an annual salary of $130,620.

The community is invited to meet the finalists and share their feedback at a community reception from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday at City Hall. The City Council plans additional executive sessions on May 19 and May 20 to finalize the selection process.
