A long-time Town of Sidney staffer will take the vacant role of chief administrative officer.
Randy Humble has been the director of development services for seven years in Sidney. Over the last three months, he’s filled the role as acting CAO and now it’s official.
“Mr. Humble has shown in the past three months his abilities as an administrator and leader,” said Sidney Mayor Larry Cross. “I am certain he will ensure that the directions set by council will be carried out efficiently and effectively. He has the respect of all staff for his forthright and direct style of leadership.”
Humble comes from a planning background, having served as a municipal planner in both Sidney and the City of Winnipeg.
He has a master’s degree in city planning from the
University of Manitoba along with a bachelor of arts in urban studies and geography from the University of Winnipeg.
“Sidney is a phenomenal community, with an incredible abundance of positive attributes. My goal will be to take a strategic approach, in collaboration with council and senior staff, to ensure that the Town of Sidney maintains and enhances a concerted focus on efficient, friendly and cost-effective service delivery to all Sidney residents,” Humble said.
“I believe that my background and experience in planning and land development issues will serve the town well as we move forward in working creatively and cooperatively with the development community, our neighbouring municipalities and other housing organizations to address the serious issue of attainable workforce housing in the Sidney area.”
