Cathy Millison, who has been the City Manger for Santa Rosa for the past three and a half years, has announced her retirement, effective in the fall, so the search is on for her successor. As part of that process, the city council has invited the citizenry to share their ideas of what criteria should be part of that recruitment effort. We get more on the whole process in this conversation with the city’s other top official.

That public input session is scheduled for 3 o’clock this afternoon in the Santa Rosa City Council chambers.
