Title

Equal Opportunity Director Employment Agreement (B)

 

Summary

Approve Equal Opportunity Employment Agreement.

 

Explanation

In order to hire an Equal Opportunity Director, the City Commission authorized the Human Resources Department to engage the services of an Executive Search Firm to initiate a search to fill the vacant position. The Mercer Group, Inc. was selected to conduct the search and to present qualified candidates to the Commission for consideration.

The Mercer Group presented each Commissioner with the resumes of the top recommended semi-finalist candidates for consideration and during the September 6, 2018 City Commission meeting, the Mercer Group requested the City Commission to select between 3 to 5 finalists to be invited to interview with the Commission, in person, for the full-time Equal Opportunity Director role.

 

Below is an overview of who was recommended by the Mercer Group agency, for the in-person interviews with the Commission:

 

Candidates the agency recommended the Commission interview and consider:

Bridget S. Lee

Teneeshia Marshall

Cheryl Seals Mobley Gonzalez

Lisa Matway

Gwendolyn Saffo

 

The Commission reviewed those resumes and approved scheduling those candidates for in-person interviews with the Commission. Candidate interviews were conducted by the City Commission on October 16th and 17th.

 

The in-person interviews were held over two days; the schedule included a panel-style interview with the full City Commission, a Community Forum which citizens and Commissioners were invited to, and finally, one-on-one interviews with each Commissioner.

 

Following the interview process, during the October 18th City Commission Meeting,  the City Commission selected an Equal Opportunity Director and authorized the Mayor to negotiate a contract with Teneeshia Marshall.

 

Fiscal Note

 Salary of $100,000 to $150,000 for the Equal Opportunity Director is approved in the FY19 budget.

 

Recommendation

The City Commission approve the employment agreement of Teneeshia Marshall.
