DDC narrows executive director search to two finalists; board expects decision soon
Summary
City manager and council liaison said the EDC executive-director search is down to two finalists (one withdrew) and that an offer is expected within about a week; board members identified the director role as key to driving the action plan.
Council liaison reported the executive-director search has been narrowed to two finalists after one finalist withdrew for personal reasons. The liaison said interviews proceeded well and that the city manager's office hopes to make an offer next week, which would allow the new director to take charge of the DDC action plan and staff alignment.
Board members repeatedly said the incoming executive director will be the primary mover for the small-area plans and feasibility work recommended by consultants; several members urged the board to maintain momentum while waiting for the hire. "We are down to 2 people... hopefully within the next week or so, we'll know who that person is," the liaison said. Staff expects to present the new director and an integrated action plan once the hire is finalized.
Ending: The board expects a near-term personnel announcement and a follow-on action-plan schedule once the executive director assumes the role.
