The city of Wichita has launched a survey to get feedback from residents on priorities for the next city manager.

It’s the first opportunity residents have to engage in the search process after the current manager, Robert Layton, announced his retirement earlier this year.

“The survey will provide another qualitative snapshot into what residents’ priorities are for the next City Manager,” a release by the city said.

The city said in an email to The Eagle that more opportunities to engage in the search process, including in-person events, will be announced soon.

CPS HR Consulting was hired to help lead the search for the new city manager, alongside a selection advisory committee made up of residents appointed by the city council.

The survey can be found here. It’s also available in Spanish and Vietnamese.

The survey will close Oct. 8.
