Redington Shores to post Town Administrator job; commissioners agree on application requirements
Summary
The board instructed staff to post the Town Administrator position widely, remove minimum experience requirements, and require applicants to include salary expectations on resumes; commissioners praised Interim Administrator Margaret Carey’s performance and a resident urged hiring her permanently.
At the June 11 meeting the Redington Shores Board of Commissioners agreed to post the Town Administrator position immediately and to keep it open until filled, with several changes to the job announcement and application requirements.
Interim Town Administrator Margaret Carey provided three comparable job descriptions from nearby towns. Commissioners discussed qualifications and posting details; Commissioner Larry Maynard requested removal of prior experience minimums, and Commissioner CJ Hoyt asked that the advertisement reference adherence to the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) code of ethics. The board also agreed that applicants should list salary expectations on their resumes.
Commissioner Hoyt praised Interim Administrator Carey, saying she is "doing a phenomenal job" along with Deputy Clerk Melissa Fultz and Town Intern Rafael Soto. Commissioner Harr also expressed satisfaction with Carey's performance. During public comment, Michelle Mower recommended hiring Carey as the permanent Town Administrator, noting her proven abilities.
The board directed staff to post the job broadly to multiple forums and to return when candidates are identified. The posting will remain open until the position is filled; no final hiring decision was made at the meeting.
