Summary

The council agreed Aug. 29 to have staff compile three sample job descriptions and circulate a draft for the city manager posting; members set a target to consider and approve the job description at the Sept. 10 meeting and discussed salary benchmarks and whether the position should be a contract.

The chair called the Aug. 29 meeting to order and said the council would discuss the city manager position and related job description work.

The council agreed to have staff member Tyler collect sample job descriptions and circulate proposed drafts by email. "He can send out an RFQ, a request for qualifications to search firms to lead a search, which is not a commitment," a staff member said, describing the RFQ as a way to obtain cost and scope information from vendors. Members emphasized that any job description approval must occur in a public meeting; one council member suggested placing the item on the Sept. 10 agenda.
