News from the City of Coachella

Coachella, CA: The City of Coachella is currently in the process of searching for its new City Manager and Councilmembers are asking for input from the community. As a result, an anonymous online survey went live today for residents to voice what they consider to be the most important criteria when selecting a new City Manager.

The 15-question survey will be made available through the City’s website www.Coachella.org from February 1st – February 12th.

“This survey is an important part of the process. We want to hear from our residents what qualities and characteristics they want to see in the next City Manager” said Mayor Steven Hernandez. “I encourage everyone to participate.”

The City’s current City Manager Bill Pattison announced his retirement in December. Pattison has been with the City of Coachella since 2010. During his tenure, the City’s reserves have gone from $6.5 million to $16.5 million.
