Meet The Finalists Vying To Be Unalaska’s New City Manager

Berett Wilber/KUCB

This weekend, the Unalaska City Council is interviewing four finalists for the city manager position.

KUCB’s Laura Kraegel sat down with the candidates to learn about their backgrounds — and ask why they want to work on the island.

Unalaskans are invited to meet the finalists at a public reception Friday night. The Grand Aleutian Hotel is hosting the event from 5 to 7 p.m.

On Saturday, the City Council is conducting interviews in executive session.

Councilors will reconvene Sunday to deliberate and decide if they want to extend a job offer.

Correction: This broadcast previously misstated that Thomas Thomas currently serves as city manager in Rock Island, Illinois. He held that position until the fall of 2016

Laura Kraegel reported for KUCB from 2016 until 2020. She was KUCB's news director starting in 2019. We are proud to have her back in the spring of 2023 filling in as an interim reporter for KUCB.
