Chelsea council discusses city manager transition, reviews seven applications and interim option
Summary
At a May 1 special meeting, Chelsea Mayor Jane Pacheco and the City Council reviewed seven applications for the vacant city manager post, discussed appointing Adrianna Jordan as interim acting city manager, and agreed to reinstate a Transition Team with biweekly meetings to manage recruitment.
Chelsea Mayor Jane Pacheco told the City Council at a special meeting May 1 that the session, originally scheduled as a budget working session, had been converted to address the resignation of the city manager and the transition to fill that role.
Council members said staff had put out a call for applications and that seven applications had been submitted for the city manager position. Members reviewed the applications and discussed the qualifications they considered most relevant for a permanent hire, including prior municipal management experience and familiarity with Chelsea’s operations.
The council also discussed the possible appointment of Adrianna Jordan as Interim Acting City Manager to provide continuity while the recruitment proceeds; the transcript records discussion of the appointment but does not record a formal vote or final confirmation in this segment. Mayor Jane Pacheco said the council would take steps to recruit and hire a permanent city manager and discussed a timeline for that process.
Pacheco also proposed reinstituting the Transition Team and holding biweekly meetings to coordinate the interim management and the recruitment effort. The meeting record does not show any formal motions or votes on those specific items in this segment.
The minutes of this special meeting were approved May 15, 2023, according to the record.
