We all have some wild and funny stories from our city manager careers. Why? Because we interact with people on a daily basis and people are crazy! In this episode, Tim Rundel, one of the most popular guests of the show, recounts the insanities and inanities of his city management life spanning stints in California and Oklahoma. If you have some funny stories, surreal first council meetings, or absolutely incredible first-day on the job stories -- and you want to share them on the podcast -- please get in touch. I would love to feature you on the podcast in either a stand alone episode or in a compilation episode featuring contributions from other managers.
