Entertainment Commission authorizes executive-director recruitment, names acting director
Summary
The commission approved the job description and authorized the City's General Services Agency to conduct and manage recruitment for the Entertainment Commission executive director; Deputy Director Maggie Weiland was designated to serve as acting executive director during the transition and a commissioner was identified to participate in interviews.
The Entertainment Commission on June 6 authorized the City's General Services Agency to manage the search for a new Entertainment Commission executive director following the current director's announced retirement. Commissioners approved the draft job announcement and asked staff to proceed with the advertised recruitment timeline.
The commission also directed that Deputy Director Maggie Weiland serve as acting executive director during the interim and identified a commissioner to participate in the screening or interview panel to represent the commission's perspective in the process. The search timeline in the staff memo indicates outreach and screening through June and July with a closed-session screening and referral of finalists to the mayor for appointment.
Why it matters: The executive director position oversees the commission's regulatory work, including permitting and sound-code enforcement; the commission emphasized the need for a timely but careful search. Commissioners discussed logistics of closed-session review and possible dates for screening panels.
Vote: Commissioners voted to approve GSA recruitment, the job description and to appoint a commissioner to the interview panel; the motion passed by recorded voice vote.
