SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Several qualified applications for the Public Works Director position were received. The search process
was very thorough, including a national search. An ad hoc hiring committee was assembled to review
qualified applications, participate in candidate interviews, and ultimately make a recommendation for City
Manager consideration. Following initial interviews with the top four candidates, three candidates were
selected to advance in the process. Second interviews were conducted on-site in McCall with the three
finalist candidates. After reviewing all applications, and two rounds of thorough interviews, the committee
deliberated and made a final recommendation for Nathan Stewart. The City Manager has extended a
conditional offer of employment to Nathan Stewart, subject to Council confirmation.
Nathan earned his Master of Science Degree in Environmental Engineering from Virginia Polytechnic
Institute and State University in 2005; he has since gained extensive knowledge and experience in both
private and public sector roles. Prior to beginning his career in public service, he worked as an Engineer
Consultant, providing engineering design for water, sewer, road, grading, drainage, and storm water
management construction plans. Some of Nathan’s experience in public service includes; providing civil
and environmental engineering expertise, implementing construction contracts for multiple departments,
contributing to infrastructure and policy development, departmental budgeting, and planning. Nathan has
been serving as project lead for Streets-LOT, Transportation Master Plan, and ongoing water and
wastewater master planning as well.
Nathan has demonstrated his dedication, knowledge, and experience throughout his career with the City of
McCall. His combined experience, education, dedication to our organization and community, make him
the right selection as the City of McCall’s Public Works Director.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Confirm the City Manager’s appointment of Nathan Stewart as the Public Works Director, per McCall
City Code 1-9-3(C).
