Four finalists for Ramsey County manager will be interviewed during a public meeting with county commissioners at 9 a.m. Tuesday at the courthouse in St. Paul.
After County Manager Ryan O’Connor departed earlier this year to join the Metropolitan Council as the agency’s regional administrator, officials began a search for a new manager, with the effort being led by a national recruitment firm.
The county received 54 applications and chose four finalists for the county manager role. The finalists are:
- Anthony Alongi, policy and planning manager with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
- Ling Becker, director of Ramsey County Workforce Solutions.
- Nikki Farago, deputy commissioner of agency culture and relations at the Minnesota Department of Human Services.
- Jonathan Sage-Martinson, chief executive officer of the nonprofit Amplio Economic Development Corp. as well as the president/CEO of the Amplio Lending Corp.
“Ramsey County is the most diverse county in the state. We have driven a lot of transformative change during some very challenging years and yet, we know, there is still a lot of work that needs to be done,” County Board Chair Trista Martinson said in a statement. “The board is excited to meet the finalists and learn how they embody the county’s mission, vision and values and would drive us into our next chapter.”
