In this episode of the Local Government Insights podcast from Avenu Insights and Analytics, we hear from Tim Casey, veteran City Manager and author of the book “The Mayor Married Who?, A look at the lighter side of a 40 year career in City Management.” Tim shares his experiences and insights on local government and offers strategic advice for those aspiring to become City Managers.
The discussion covers a range of topics including Tim’s motivation for writing the book, his experiences as an intern in Manhattan Beach, and his advice for aspiring City Managers. Tim also candidly discusses some of the not-so-positive outcomes he had to deal with over his career and shares the lessons he learned from those experiences. Tim touches on the ICMA’s Range Rider program and the common problems cities have been facing in recent years.
