Council accepts finance director's resignation; interim support arranged
Summary
The council accepted the resignation of the finance director, declared the position vacant and arranged interim assistance from Neil while recruiting proceeds under existing professional-services terms.
Council members formally accepted the resignation of Christa, the finance director, declared the position vacant and authorized recruiting steps under the city's contract with the retained recruitment firm. Staff said the recruitment contract includes a retention provision the city purchased previously, meaning the firm would waive professional-services costs if the hired candidate does not remain past 24 months; only direct advertising costs are expected in the current search.
Staff said Neil will provide interim support one to two days per week to assist with reporting and completing the budget work. Council members expressed appreciation for Christa's work and noted that prior investment in the recruitment package will lower expected costs for the current search.
The council voted to accept the resignation and declare the finance-director position vacant; staff will advertise and begin the recruitment process.
