Jonathan Teichert will be the next leader of Klamath Falls government, after he was tapped Tuesday to be its next city manager.

A Wyoming native, Teichert has more than 20 years of experience in local and state government and served as the city administrator of Douglas, Wyo., since 2018.

Teichert said Thursday he was working to tie up some loose ends at his current job in preparation for moving his life and career to Klamath. His first day as city manager will be April 1.

Once he gets to town, Teichert plans to make the rounds to meet with the mayor, city councilors and other stakeholders at the city and in the community to get his footing in his new city.

“It’s basically an introductory campaign that first couple of weeks,” he said.

Teichert said he and his wife have already started looking at different neighborhoods and said his family will join him, probably in June.

“We are just excited to be there. It’s a beautiful location,” Teichert said of Klamath Falls. “The outdoor amenities available there … I’m looking forward to introducing my son to skiing and camping. I think it will be a good place to raise a family.”
