Weed Council narrows search process, schedules interviews with preferred recruiter
Summary
Council reviewed three proposals to recruit a new city manager, expressed preference for a firm with experience placing managers in similar small/mountain communities, and directed staff to schedule interviews and prepare contract authorization for the chosen recruiter.
Weed City Council reviewed three recruitment proposals for a new city manager and directed staff to schedule interviews with selected firms, with council members identifying a firm (McKenney/McKenny in the packet) as a preferred candidate due to prior placements in similarly sized and situated communities and an all‑inclusive fee structure.
Council members highlighted the value of a single point of contact from the recruiter, thorough background checks for finalists, and the importance of setting an appropriate pay scale to attract qualified candidates. One council member said a single point person "is critical" for a recruitment of this scale; another emphasized not cutting corners on the process.
Staff will work with council schedules to arrange interviews as soon as possible and will prepare contract documents and a proposed scope of work and compensation for a future formal action to authorize signature of a recruitment contract.
