The City of Loveland is hosting a public meet-and-greet on Wednesday, Oct. 2, from 6-8 p.m., at the Forge Event Center, 815 14th St SW, Bldg B100, with two candidates who have been identified as finalists for its City Manager position. 

Bob Cowell, Jr., former City Manager of the City of Roanoke, Virginia, and Jim Thompson, current City Manager of the City of Scottsdale, Arizona, are the two top candidates identified during a nationwide search that began earlier this year. Doors for the public meet-and-greet open at 5:30 p.m., with a facilitated panelist presentation at 6 p.m. Public input will be collected during the in-person portion of the event. 

A short biography for each candidate is posted in the event news release. Both candidates have experience managing communities of equal or greater population to the City of Loveland.

The public meet-and-greet will also be shared via live stream at youtube.com/CityofLoveland. The video will also be available on demand at lovgov.org/VOD starting Thursday, Oct. 3.

Online and in-person public input will be collected starting 6 p.m. Oct. 2 and will conclude 24-hours later at 6 p.m. on Oct. 3.
