Ionia County approves engagement with Maner Costerian, forms ad-hoc Finance Director search committee
Summary
The Board approved a letter of engagement with recruiting firm Maner Costerian and appointed an ad-hoc search committee for the Finance Director role.
The Ionia County Board of Commissioners on Feb. 25 voted to approve a letter of engagement with Maner Costerian to assist in the search for a permanent Finance Director. Finance Director Bernadette Blonde recommended the engagement after board discussion of search options and compensation.
The board appointed Commissioners Larry Tiejema, Terence Frewen and Gordon Kelley to an ad-hoc search committee to oversee recruitment and candidate review; the motion to form the committee was moved by Frewen and supported by Kelley. No vote tally beyond voice votes was recorded in the minutes. The board’s action authorizes staff to proceed with the consultant engagement as presented by Blonde.
The next procedural steps are for the ad-hoc committee and consultant to manage candidate outreach and screening; the meeting record does not specify a timeline for final appointment or salary details beyond the board discussion of compensation options.
