Council staff reported at the Aug. 25 meeting that a job announcement for the city's Office of the Inspector General will be finalized and posted by the end of the week and that the position will be kept open on a continuous basis with an initial review of applicants after 30 days.
Council leaders asked that two council members volunteer to serve on a five‑person interview panel. Staff said they would circulate the job description to all council members and would solicit feedback. Committee members asked that department staff who will work with the Inspector General be given an opportunity to provide input on the candidate profile; staff agreed to include that input and to allow anonymous feedback where appropriate.
Why it matters: The Inspector General is a central role for internal oversight; committee members emphasized the importance of continuity and staff input in the hiring process.
Next steps: Staff will finalize and post the job announcement, notify council when it is live, conduct a first review after 30 days and assemble an interview panel that includes at least two council members and up to five panelists.
