WOODBURY, Minn. — Jeff Dahl, City Manager of Wayzata since 2016, is one of five finalists for the City Administrator position in Woodbury.
The City of Woodbury is conducting a national search to replace Clint Gridley, who is set to retire on June 6 after more than two decades of service. Finalists will take part in interviews with the City Council, staff, and community stakeholders later this month.
Jeff Dahl acknowledged the announcement in a brief statement to Wayzata.com, saying, “I’m honored to be a finalist and consider this career opportunity but also continue to be grateful to have the privilege to serve our Council, staff, and community.”
Dahl brings nearly two decades of experience in city government. He began his municipal career in 2005 as a community development intern for the City of Woodbury. He later served in Osseo and Chaska before being appointed Wayzata’s City Manager, where he also acts as executive director of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority.
Woodbury, with nearly 80,000 residents, is the eighth-largest city in Minnesota and widely regarded for its high-quality services and managed growth. The administrator role carries a posted salary range of $220,000 to $260,000, depending on qualifications.
A final decision is expected in June.
