INTRODUCTION
The City of Englewood, Ohio, (population 13,463) is recruiting experienced and proven local government professionals interested in becoming the community’s next City Manager. Englewood, founded in 1841, is a full service, suburban community known for providing quality and efficient municipal services under a stable Council-Manager form of government since 1970. Located in southwest Ohio, just west of the James M. Cox Dayton International Airport, Englewood continues to foster a strong blend of progressive economic development activity, balanced with abundant open spaces and attractive, safe and affordable neighborhoods. The community has benefited from conservative fiscal practices, incurring virtually no debt, and from steady capable leadership with the current City Manager retiring after an incredible fifty years of Englewood service and serving forty-seven years as its manager.

ORGANIZATION
The Englewood City Manager is selected by and reports directly to the city council. The council is comprised of seven members elected at large on a nonpartisan basis for four-year staggered terms. One member of council is separately elected as mayor and presides at council meetings, has a vote, but has no veto power or independent legal authority. A vice mayor is selected by council at each organizational meeting and serves in the absence or temporary disability of the mayor. The clerk of council is appointed by the city council, which sets the overall direction and policy for the city with the City Manager overseeing all daily operations while serving as the chief executive officer. Englewood voters adopted a Municipal Charter, Home Rule, Council-Manager form of government in 1970 which became fully effective in 1971.

The City Manager serves at the pleasure of the city council and may be removed or suspended with four votes of council. The City Manager is responsible for the appointment of all department directors and city personnel unless otherwise prescribed by the municipal charter. The community has been known for political stability with only three City Managers serving during the past fifty-five years.
