Brandon city manager Scott Hildebrand has resigned from his position to pursue a career opportunity in the private sector.
Hildebrand has served as city manager since June 2011.
“The last six years has been an amazing experience for me – from a business perspective, but more so from a people perspective,” Hildebrand said in a press release. “The City of Brandon staff are one of the most committed, dedicated, and customer service-focused groups I have ever worked with. Our team truly understands the meaning of our vision statement, ‘Serving and Building Community’, and deserves the respect of this community.”
Hildebrand’s last day at city hall will be Feb. 24, and will officially move on at the end of March. He plans to pursue an opportunity in British Columbia.
Looking back at his time with the city, Hildebrand said he is particularly proud of the flood-fighting efforts in 2011 and 2014, as well as internal initiatives relating to responsible budgeting, workplace safety, succession planning, the cultivation of the “Serving and Building Community” employee culture, and the recent launch of an employee engagement strategy.
“It has been an absolute pleasure leading and working alongside such an amazing group of people. I am very proud of our collective accomplishments over the last six years and feel that we have raised the bar with respect to our service to the community,” Hildebrand stated. “I also want to thank Mayor Chrest and city council for all of their support and direction over the last number of years and truly believe they will continue to move this city forward in a thoughtful and meaningful way, always keeping our ratepayers top of mind.”
Mayor Rick Chrest said Hildebrand’s leadership, work ethic and talents are “truly exemplary”.
“He will be greatly missed by the city and the community, but we congratulate him for an outstanding career with the city and wish him well as he pursues new professional and personal interests,” Chrest stated. “Personally, I must say that I am saddened to be losing Scott as our city manager. Working so closely with him for more than two years now, I can attest to the fact that we have enjoyed an absolutely first-rate city manager.”
The city’s personnel committee will appoint an acting city manager in the days prior to Hildebrand’s departure, after which an official replacement search process will begin.
