Job Description

The City of Burlington is seeking applications for their next City Administrator. To view full job posting go to: www.KRW-Associates.com

The City & Surrounding Area- The City of Burlington, CO (pop. 3,172) is a beautiful rural community located on the High Plains of eastern Colorado, 170 miles east of Denver, and 12 miles west of the Colorado/Kansas border. As the county seat of Kit Carson County, Burlington serves as a business hub for the region, where the economic engine is primarily farming, ranching and agricultural-related businesses, however, renewable energy, hospitality, education, healthcare, banking, and other local businesses also play a role.

Incorporated in 1888, Burlington has long been home to hard-working, caring people who are protective of the land and take great pride in their community. Burlington is home to a traditional downtown area, beautiful parks, a swimming pool, walking trails, a nine-hole golf course, a library and an airport, among other amenities. The City’s Recreation and Activities Department offers a host of community leagues, classes and activities for residents of all ages. Public officials work diligently to ensure access to modern high-quality services. Students are served by the Burlington Public Schools (Pre-K—12), a hub for community activities, and college courses are offered through the Burlington Community Center, a satellite campus of Morgan Community College.

The Burlington Police Department, and the Volunteer Fire Department   provide public safety services. The Kit Carson County Memorial Hospital is a regional medical center with primary and specialty care, and emergency services.

Community traditions such as the Kit Carson County Fair, rodeos, livestock shows, and a community barbeque are highlights during the summer. The winter brings the annual Parade of Lights, Winterwonder Lights, and Christmas Tree Stroll among other celebrations. The Kit Carson County Carousel, a 120-year-old beautifully restored carousel, and The Old Town Museum, a 6-acre site of 21 fully restored historic buildings showcasing artifacts from the turn of the century, are some of the unique attractions that draw visitors to town. The museum hosts old-west shows and a   dinner theater, and serves as a year-round venue for business meetings, weddings, reunions, and community events. Burlington certainly lives up to its mission to be a “strong vibrant community.”

Burlington is a home-rule city with a Mayor/Council form of government. The Council members are elected to 4-year staggered terms. Each represent all areas of the City.
