Canandaigua Hires Consultant in Search for New Town Manager

One town in Ontario County is looking to a neighboring county for help in choosing its next manager.

The town of Canandaigua will hire Livingston County Administrator Ian Coyle, who is also the owner of Pracademics Partners, LLC for $18,000. According to its website, Pracademics “helps “public-sector, non-profit and higher education organizations improve performance and source and develop top talent through a dynamic and responsive approach.”

The Finger Lakes Times reports Coyle led last year’s search in Seneca County which resulted in Kyle Lovell being hired as the new county manager.

Doug Finch left Canandaigua earlier this month to become the city manager of Duncanville, Texas.
