Norcross council moves to engage firm for city manager recruitment
Summary
Council members moved to select Marks Municipal Support to conduct the city manager executive search and authorized staff to negotiate a contract and bring a budget amendment for council approval; staff said a short special-call meeting may be scheduled to finalize the agreement.
City staff told the council that at an April 18 special-call meeting they interviewed three executive recruitment firms — Park Municipal Support, Collin Benziger and Associates, and Slaven Management Consultants — and requested council authorization to select a firm and negotiate contract terms.
In discussion, a council member said the candidates were strong and that "the great rises to the top," then moved to select Marks Municipal Support (referred to in the transcript as "Mark's municipal support") to provide city manager recruitment services. Staff said they would inform the selected firm, negotiate a contract and request a brief special-call meeting to approve the negotiated proposal and a corresponding budget amendment.
The council discussed next steps for finalizing the partnership and directed staff to move forward with contract negotiations and the associated fiscal amendment. The transcript records the motion to select the firm; no roll-call vote or final contract was recorded in the excerpt.
Staff indicated that after selection they would work with the chosen firm to finalize terms and return to council with a contract and budget amendment for formal approval.
