Burien — After returning from executive session late on April 20, the Burien City Council unanimously approved a motion to appoint Bob Larson as interim city manager subject to negotiation and execution of an interim contract by the interim city attorney.
Councilmember Sam Mendez made the motion and it was seconded; the council approved the appointment without opposition. Members used the public portion of the meeting to thank Acting City Manager Rod Staitzer for stepping into the role during the transition. Councilmember Kevin Schilling said he hoped the council would soon articulate longer-term goals for the city manager role so the interim appointment fits the council’s broader objectives.
The appointment is subject to negotiated contract terms and formal execution by the interim city attorney. No salary or contract details were provided on the record; the motion directs the interim city attorney to complete contract negotiations.
