That was probably the longest continuous time we have all spent together. So, after completion of a very thorough process, I will say I am not ready to move forward with a single candidate. I feel as a City we are figuring out our vision after a long tenure with our previous city manager coming out of a disruptive and unprecedented era due to COVID and multiple changes in the City’s executive leadership. My suggestion is that we pause the search and extend the interim city manager position for three months while we take time to breathe and reevaluate what is best for our city.” Councilmember Pignataro agreed more time is necessary. Mayor Arndt thanked the candidates for their time and commitment to the process. She acknowledged the statement is disappointing for many but it was made with due diligence and a commitment to the future of Fort Collins. Mayor Arndt further stated she was in agreement with Mayor Pro Tem’s statement and with the several senior staff recently hired, additional time is necessary to allow for more continuity to make a decision. City of Fort Collins Page 2 Councilmembers Gutowsky, Ohlson, Canonico and Peel all supported the decision. 2.
