Human resources outlines 45‑day county‑manager recruitment schedule, finalists targeted for Feb. 4
Summary
Human Resources proposed a 45‑day recruitment for the county manager position: post after the Dec. 4 meeting, keep applications open through Jan. 18, rank candidates and announce finalists around Feb. 4 with an aim to appoint by March 4 if timelines align.
Leslie Quan, human resources, presented a proposed 45‑day recruitment timeline for the county manager position and asked whether commissioners wanted a quick summary or the full timeline.
Quan proposed posting the job immediately after the board’s Dec. 4 meeting, leaving the posting open for 45 days (Dec. 4–Jan. 18). She said HR would hold applications until the close date, then forward ranked candidates and recommendations to commissioners, who would have roughly two and a half weeks to review materials and conduct preliminary interviews (via Zoom or Teams) and then narrow candidates to finalists.
Quan proposed announcing finalists about Feb. 4 and then conducting structured interviews with directors and elected officials between Feb. 5 and Feb. 27, including a public meet‑and‑greet similar to previous recruitment events; she said, if scheduling aligns, the board could appoint a county manager by March 4.
Commissioners asked procedural questions about posting sites and interview logistics; Quan said the position would be posted on eight job sites plus the county website and that further details would follow in the formal meeting packet.
Next steps: staff will post the position after the Dec. 4 meeting and return with recommended timelines and candidate materials for the executive session review period.
