SISTERS, OR -- La Pine’s City Manager is moving to Sisters. Cory Misley was chosen at Wednesday's Sisters City Council meeting to replace City Manager Brant Kucera, who took a job in the Midwest.

Misley has been City Manager of La Pine since 2015 and holds a Masters of Science in Public Policy. Mayor Chuck Ryan says they were pleased with the overall talent of the candidate pool but Misley rose to the top. Ryan issued a statement after the meeting, saying, "The city is very lucky to have found a local candidate that has the exact experience and qualifications that the city was searching for." He went on to say, "We look forward to having Cory help advance our strategic visioning process so that Sisters will evolve into the community that our Sisters Country residents have outlined for us."

Misley takes over after Thanksgiving.
