Mayor Ava Frisinger announced the appointment of Robert “Bob” Harrison as the new Issaquah city administrator today.

Harrison has a master’s in public administration from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaulkee, a bachelor’s degree from Marquette University and has worked in city management for the last 17 years, most recently as the city manager for Wyoming, Ohio, a suburb north of Cincinnati.

“I am thrilled to appoint Bob as our next administrator,” says Frisinger. “His dedication to environmental excellence, fiscal stewardship and community involvement – demonstrated by his impressive career in city administration – are a great match for our community.”

The City Council will vote on the appointment during its Sept. 20 meeting, and if approved, Harrison will begin his new duties on Oct. 11.
