Flagler County commissioners at a June workshop tentatively selected three candidates for first‑round interviews for the county attorney vacancy and set a preliminary interview day for July 15.

The selections, compiled by staff from nominations submitted by commissioners, list Michael Rodriguez, Scott McHenry and Sean Moylan as the three candidates to proceed to one‑on‑one interviews, a public meet‑and‑greet and a final open session where commissioners may ask questions as a panel.

Jorge Salinas, deputy account administrator, told commissioners the nominations were collected into a spreadsheet and that “we made a request to provide 3, potential candidates for interview for the, position of county attorney.” He said staff would send preliminary questions to candidates, schedule one‑on‑one interviews and then host a meet‑and‑greet before the open commission session.

The workshop included some confusion about whether Sean Moylan had been intended as an automatic interviewee. A commissioner asked whether Moylan was to be left out; staff responded that the intent was for commissioners to submit names and that Moylan was included in the compiled list based on submitted choices. Salinas said the commission could expand the number of interviewees if it wished.

Commissioners agreed to keep the recruitment open while proceeding with the first round of interviews. Salinas said the county would continue to accept applications; the first tier of screening is performed by human resources. “If at the end of this process, the first round of interviews, you’re not completely satisfied, you would like to continue to look for candidates, we’ll continue to leave it open,” Salinas said.

The board discussed logistics for July 15, with commissioners expecting one‑on‑one interviews earlier in the day, a meet‑and‑greet late afternoon and a group interview session in the evening. The meeting packet language and schedule are tentative.

No formal vote was recorded at the workshop; the selections were presented as the staff‑compiled result of commissioners’ nominations and carried forward by consensus for scheduling and further vetting.
