Nathan Hamburger Considered As City Manager

AGOURA HILLS, CA — The Agoura Hills City Council will consider appointing current Assistant City Manager Nathan Hamburger as the new city manager.

On Friday, the city announced that the Council would vote on Hamburger’s appointment during its Wednesday meeting. If appointed, Hamburger, who has served as assistant city manager since 2006, would replace Greg Ramirez, who left in May after accepting a job as city manager for Camarillo.

Hamburger has worked for the city of Agoura Hills since 2006 and was appointed assistant city manager the following year, according to a city news release. He currently manages a number of city affairs, from budget oversight to information technology to economic development, among many others.

Hamburger earned a Bachelor of Arts in political science with a minor in business administration and criminal justice from California State University at Fullerton, and went on to get a master’s degree in public administration from the University of Southern California. He is a member of the International City/County Management Association, the California City Management Foundation, and the Municipal Management Association of Southern California, where he has served six years on the executive board.

“Nate has been an integral part of the city’s executive management team for years,” said Mayor Ilece Buckley Weber. “He is a proven leader and one who always jumps in whenever needed. He has served with integrity and is well-respected throughout the area. Nate will be a great captain of our ship.”

“I am beyond ecstatic to be presented with the opportunity to continue to serve this community,” Hamburger said. “I want to thank the City Council for their support and look forward to working with them and the entire community as Agoura Hills shows its resiliency on the road to economic recovery. I want to thank my family and everyone from the community that reached out to give their support through this process. I am constantly reminded how amazingly unique Agoura Hills truly is, and I am proud to serve as the next city manager.”
