Council sets special meeting for Aug. 11 to consider recruitment firm and interim city manager
Summary
The council voted to call a special meeting on Aug. 11 (6 or 7 p.m.) to allow the council to consider selecting a recruitment firm for the city manager search and appointing an interim city manager; staff said the final agenda will be published Thursday before the meeting and may include those items and others as ready.
The Kalispell City Council voted on Aug. 4 to hold a special meeting on Aug. 11 at 6 or 7 p.m. to consider, among other possible items, selection of a recruitment firm for the city manager search and appointment of an interim city manager. City Manager Russell asked that the motion allow flexibility because final readiness of items for action may not be certain until the published agenda.
Why it matters: The stated purpose is to allow timely action on recruiting and interim management for the city manager position. Calling a special meeting provides a publicly noticed opportunity to take those personnel- and recruitment-related actions outside the council’s regular work-session schedule.
Councilor Dowd moved to establish the special meeting; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. City staff will publish the finalized agenda on the Thursday prior to the meeting, and councilors confirmed the meeting will be publicly noticed in accordance with city code.
Ending: Agenda and exact start time (6 or 7 p.m.) to be published in advance; council reserved flexibility to add other items as they become ready for consideration.
