Wichita Mayor Carl Brewer announced today that Pat Salerno will be interviewed for the position of Wichita City Manager next Monday and Tuesday, May 19 and 20. Salerno is the former city manager of Sunrise, Florida.

"Pat Salerno is an experienced and well regarded city manager and comes highly recommended to the City Council by the Citizens Committee assisting in the city manager search," Mayor Brewer said. "He brings over 20 years experience as the top manager of the City of Sunrise and two large counties in Georgia."

Mayor Brewer said the search for a city manager was continuing and that the City had engaged Jim Mercer of The Mercer Group, a national search consultant company, to assist in the search.

"I expect the Citizens Committee to recommend additional candidates to the City Council for consideration in the very near future," the Mayor said.

The next City Manager will replace George Kolb who announced his resignation in January.
