Title
General Manager for Utilities Selection Process (NB)
The City Commission discuss the continuation of the selection process for the General Manager
Explanation
In January 2007, the City Commission interviewed three candidates for the General Manager position. The Commission selected a candidate, but was not successful in negotiating an employment contract. The Commission then entered into negotiations with Karen Johnson to assume the position through September 30, 2008, and agreed to continue the process around February 2008 with a target start date of September 2008.
Mycoff & Associates have continued to search for candidates that meet the criteria outlined by the City Commission early in the process. Currently they have identified one highly qualified candidate that meets all of the criteria desired. Mycoff & Associates would like to present that candidate to the City Commission as a continuance of the interview process held in January 2007. The process would consist of one-on-one interviews with each Commission member and a "meet the candidate" question & answer reception with the public. The process would be concluded at a subsequent regular City Commission meeting with a motion to offer the position to the candidate or continue the search.
Fiscal Note
None at this time.
Recommendation
The City Commission approve scheduling an interview process with the candidate identified by Mycoff & Associates within the next 90 days.
Alternative Recommendation A:
The City Commission direct Mycoff & Associates to: 1) publicly advertise the position, 2) identify 3-4 candidates to be interviewed, and 3) authorize staff to schedule a date for the interview process no later than December 30, 2007.
