Fountain City committee to advertise City Administrator–Treasurer vacancy; Scott Feraro to screen candidates
Summary
The Finance & Administration Committee approved advertising the City Administrator–Treasurer opening in several regional outlets and tasked committee member Scott Feraro with initial phone or Zoom screenings; review of performance-evaluation templates and public works salary matters will continue.
The Fountain City Finance & Administration Committee agreed April 29 to advertise the City Administrator–Treasurer vacancy in Buffalo County News, the Winona Post, Indeed, the League of Wisconsin Municipalities listings, the La Crosse Tribune and the Eau Claire Leader-Telegram. Committee member Scott Feraro said he will manage initial candidate screening by phone or Zoom.
Committee chair Barb Schmidtknecht announced the advertising plan during the meeting in Council Chambers; the minutes list the agreed publications and platforms but do not specify a posting deadline, salary range, application deadline or selection timetable.
Also on the agenda, Feraro presented draft performance-review materials — including a check-in process, a SMART-goals overview, a check-in template and a year-end evaluation template — and the committee agreed to continue reviewing those documents. The minutes record that the public works employee salary review was postponed to a future meeting and that the committee will continue considering public works and utilities structure options.
The minutes do not record a formal vote count for the advertising decision; the text states the committee “agreed” to advertise and that Feraro will handle initial screening. No details on application requirements, compensation, or the hiring panel were provided in the minutes.
The committee adjourned at 5:09 p.m.
