Developing in Colorado's diverse jurisdictions comes with unique challenges, but it also presents incredible opportunities for innovation and collaboration. Recently, Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck hosted a podcast series featuring White Bear Ankele Tanaka & Waldron's Robert Rogers, exploring the vital role Metropolitan Districts play in addressing these challenges. Through thoughtful discussions on strategic negotiation strategies, tackling water issues, and advancing transparency initiatives, this conversation highlights how Metropolitan Districts can serve as powerful tools in addressing today's housing crisis. A big thank you to both parties for sharing such valuable insights!

The South reigned supreme, with six regions in the top 10 — Mooresville, North Carolina took the No. 1 spot on the list. States like Florida and Arizona both had two cities in the top 10, according to the report. Find the full top 10 list here: cnb.cx/47C8UuQ

"They're sitting out there waiting to give you the city manager job. Are you gonna take it. Are you man enough to take it?" I have 4 stories that kind of capture the current zeitgeist of the city management profession. ➡️Duncan, OK (pop. 23,000) Chris Deal has spent the last 13+ years leading the Duncan Chamber of Commerce. He has no previous experience in local government. He was just tapped to become the next city manager for Duncan (link: https://lnkd.in/eUVKsxcn) ➡️ Meadowlakes, TX (pop. 1,900) They tried doing an in-house recruitment for city manager and offered $90-120,000. The results were lackluster. They are now spending $20,000 to hire a recruiter. From the story (https://lnkd.in/eQ9zXs8G), Councilmember Bentley Thompson said: "We really just haven't had a real good pool." ➡️ San Juan County, WA (pop. 18,000) San Juan County selected a Jessica Hudson who is currently the Director at Fairfax County Public Library in Virginia (link: https://lnkd.in/exRwZVTv). ➡️ Marysville, KS (pop. 3,400) Joshua Haverkamp was recently hired to be the city administrator. His only real experience is that of a management fellow for Kansas City (link: https://lnkd.in/eKUS5rAk). ---- Please do not misinterpret my post. I am not trying to denigrate anyone. I am simply illustrating time and time again that the market for city managers is wide open. There is so much opportunity. How many of you reading my posts continue to ignore the realities of this market? How many of you continue to tell yourselves that you aren't good enough or that you don't deserve to level up your careers? It is healthy and normal to have self-doubt. It is healthy and normal to be scared. Do not let your fears and self-doubt sabotage you. It is part of the journey. Now -- go out and get them to sign on the line which is dotted! ----- If you are an aspiring city manager -- you should strongly consider joining the American Association of Municipal Executives as a founding member.

Looks like Karl the Fog rolled in and temporarily obscured our first post. But hey, if our city can reinvent itself, so can we! Take 2, action! I'm incredibly proud to share the "Heart of the City" video series. 7 neighborhoods, 7 films, 1 love letter to San Francisco. This project wouldn't have been possible without our amazing team: - Lynn Bruni-Perkins, CDME: Unwavering leadership support - Tyler Cohn: MVP from strategy to launch. The glue of this project. - Charles Rubinoff: Invaluable on-location and editing insights - Louis Raphael: Crafted a stunning digital home for the series - Aaron Danzig: Look out for all our social content - Maddie Pratt: Kept our content marketing machine running smoothly - Brenton Gieser and Estevan Padilla (LvL Films): You both went above and beyond as our filmmaking partners And let's not forget the real stars of this show: the San Franciscans who opened their doors and hearts to us. Nearly two dozen locals who didn't just tell their stories but lived them right in front of our cameras. Their honesty, their love, their unwavering belief in SF's magic – that's what makes this project truly special. These folks remind us why San Francisco isn't just another dot on the map. It's a living, breathing, one-of-a-kind place that keeps reinventing itself while never losing its soul. --- If you still believe in the magic of San Francisco, repost ♻️ this to your network.

Perception vs Reality: Urban Living and Safety I’ve been reflecting on how often our perceptions don’t align with reality. Why do we believe things that aren’t supported by the facts? Here’s another example: urban areas are unsafe. ❌ Perception: Cities, with their density and diversity, are inherently dangerous. ✅ Reality: My community, Arlington, Virginia—just across the river from Washington, DC, where one-third of residents live in apartments—is the safest place in America. This challenges the assumption that safety decreases as population density increases. Urban living can, in fact, be remarkably safe. What other “truths” do we assume that might not hold up under scrutiny? Read more about Arlington, VA here:
