📢 TALK OF THE TOWN

Plymouth on the Hunt for a Deputy City Manager

The City of Plymouth is on the lookout for its next big hire: a Deputy City Manager. This isn’t just another government job — it’s a leadership role with real influence on the city’s direction, operations, and future growth.

Applications are open now through 8 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 8, and city officials are searching for someone with both vision and collaboration skills to step into the role.

The Deputy City Manager will work alongside the City Manager to set strategy, shape policies, and help guide major city initiatives. The role includes coordinating high-profile projects, overseeing interdepartmental collaboration, and ensuring that city operations run smoothly.

On a day-to-day basis, the Deputy City Manager will directly lead the Administrative Services Department, which includes the City Clerk, Communications, and Information Technology teams. It’s a mix of leadership, problem-solving, and big-picture thinking — perfect for someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy and operations.

The city is offering a competitive salary range of $150,507 to $194,759, depending on qualifications.

For leaders looking to make an impact in one of Minnesota’s largest and fastest-growing suburbs, this role could be a career-defining opportunity.

Applications close the morning of Sept. 8, and interested candidates are encouraged to apply early.

You can apply here.

Heart Safe Plymouth Wants You on Their Life-Saving Team

Want to learn a skill that could literally save someone’s life? Heart Safe Plymouth is rolling out a new round of free CPR/AED training sessions this fall.

The classes are quick (just over an hour), hands-on, and designed for both teens and adults. You’ll learn hands-only CPR—that’s chest compressions without mouth-to-mouth—and how to use an AED (the defibrillator machines you see in airports, gyms, and public buildings).

Here’s the lineup, all happening at Plymouth City Hall (3400 Plymouth Blvd) from 7–8:15 p.m. on Thursdays:

• Sept. 25

• Oct. 23

• Nov. 20

Each class is capped at 35 people, so if you’re interested, snag a spot at heartsafeplymouth.eventbrite.com.

Heart Safe Plymouth isn’t new to this—more than 8,400 people have already gone through the training since the program started. Plymouth has even held the official Heart Safe Community designation from the American Heart Association since 2013.

Want to take things a step further? Businesses and community groups can even schedule their own free training sessions by calling 763-772-7671 or emailing [email protected].

In short: one evening, one life-saving skill. Worth it.

Flapjacks, French Toast & Fire Trucks

The Wayzata Fire Department is trading hoses for hotcakes on Sunday, September 14 from 8 a.m. to noon at 600 Rice St. E.

For four glorious hours, you can stack your plate with pancakes, load up on French toast, and even try your luck in a raffle. The best part? Breakfast is on the house. The second best part? Donations are welcome and go straight to the Fire Relief Association—helping support the firefighters who keep Wayzata safe.

So skip the cereal, bring your appetite, and maybe drop a few bucks in the donation jar to keep the community strong.
