The next steps will be for the city manager to hire a demographer, who will study the 2020 census and create a report on the city’s population including racial and ethnic backgrounds and socioeconomic characteristics.

Over 20 applications were received for the position, according to the agenda, and Perrault was interviewed Oct. 16. Perrault has worked in city government positions for 40 years, including serving as a city manager for the California cities of Cloverdale, Colfax and Grove Beach. He was also the interim city manager for Greenfield and Willits.
