Frostburg sets timeline to recruit new city administrator, application window through March 7
Summary
City staff presented a recruitment timeline for the city administrator role: job posting to go live this week, application window to close March 7, a review committee to shortlist candidates, interviews in March and an April closed session to select a finalist.
The City of Frostburg is launching a recruitment for a new city administrator, with an application deadline of March 7 and a multi-step selection schedule presented at the work session.
Staff outlined a timeline in which the job posting will go live this week, applications will be accepted through March 7, a community review committee will screen applicants the following week, and finalist interviews would be scheduled in the second half of March. The commission plans a closed session in April to discuss candidates and, if appropriate, make an offer.
Why it matters: The city administrator role is central to daily operations and long-term planning; Elizabeth (the departing administrator) will leave at the end of January and Hayden will assume acting-administrator duties. Staff emphasized use of NeoGov for application intake and suggested including screening questions, a statement of relocation expectations and background/credit checks in the application materials.
Next steps and conditions: Commissioners asked staff to finalize any pre-screening questions before the posting; staff requested proposed screening questions be sent to Trevor within the next two days. The commission also agreed a background and credit check should be part of the hiring process. The timeline anticipates a possible late-spring or summer start date for the selected candidate depending on relocation and notice requirements.
Ending: The commission approved the timeline and asked staff to post the position and circulate screening questions for review before the posting goes live.
