The commission authorized recruitment for the budgeted 2025 city administrator position, agreeing to a roughly one-month posting with outreach on local paper, municipal-league channels and online job boards; interviews would follow and a possible January start was discussed.

The board authorized staff to advertise for an open city administrator position budgeted for 2025. Staff recommended leaving the posting open for roughly a month, advertising in the local paper, municipal-league outlets and online platforms (including Glassdoor and social media) and forming a selection committee to screen candidates.

Commissioners discussed calendar timing around late-November deadlines and the likely start date for a selected candidate (roughly January, depending on notice periods). The commission approved the recruitment approach and directed staff to proceed with the advertisement, application intake and selection process.

Staff said they can manage candidate screening and that the commission may choose to use an executive session to evaluate finalists.
