Appoint Adam Wolff as Interim Town Manager - YES

With the departure of our beloved Town Manager of the last six years, Todd Cusimano, Corte Madera finds itself at a moment of change, but also of opportunity.

Hiring a Town Manager is something that not every Councilmember will get to do during their service, and for those that do, it is without doubt one of the most important votes they will take. The Town Manager is the Town's top public employee, responsible for managing the entire Town staff, and for successfully implementing the Council's vision for the community.

At this crossroads, we found ourselves with two main options for filling the position: promoting from within, or launching a national search. While a national search broadens the hiring pool, it would come at a great cost to taxpayers—a cost that was not justified given the excellent candidate we saw in our Planning and Building Director, Adam Wolff.
