Cedar Lake to advertise for town manager; council aims for December start
Summary
Council authorized advertising for a town manager position from Aug. 5 to Sept. 18, 2026, and discussed outreach channels and a goal of having a manager start by December so they can assist with year-end processes.
The council voted to advertise the town manager position from Aug. 5 through Sept. 18, 2026. Discussion covered where the town will post the opening (town website, Facebook, professional associations and potentially paid job boards like Indeed) and how much budget is available for boosted postings.
Council members said they would like a new manager in place by December to onboard ahead of the new year; one council member said, “we'd like to have someone on board then prior to the January 1 start date.” Staff said there is modest budget flexibility to start a candidate earlier if needed, with possible transfers to cover salary before the next fiscal year. The motion to advertise carried by roll call 6–0.
