Pocomoke City — The mayor reported that the city received 16 applications for the posted city-manager position and outlined the council’s planned hiring steps.
According to the mayor’s summary, after the application period closes the council will review resumes and narrow the pool to six candidates; a standardized scoring sheet will be used to ensure consistent evaluation. The six will be interviewed by the council; that group will be reduced to three finalists, who will undergo background checks before being publicly introduced.
The mayor said the council plans to host community events for each finalist so residents can hear directly from candidates and provide feedback prior to a final appointment. The process, the mayor said, is intended to be transparent and community-centered. No interview dates, candidate names, or deadlines beyond procedural steps were provided in the meeting transcript.
