Summary

City staff said a consultant hired by LGPS will present a draft position profile, job description and prioritized candidate skill sets at a special meeting proposed for Aug. 5 to advance recruitment for a new city administrator.

A staff member told the council that a consultant retained through LGPS will deliver an initial presentation on the city administrator recruitment at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 5 if the council can meet that date. "We would like to have our initial presentation, by the consultant on Wednesday, August 5," the staff member said, noting the consultant intends to present ranked skill sets and a draft position profile for council review.

The staff member said the consultant hopes to provide a draft position profile and job description for the council’s initial review and to discuss the hiring process. Because the council typically meets only once a month, staff recommended scheduling special meetings during the recruitment so that the process does not stretch out with month-long gaps. The staff member also noted the city code already defines many of the tasks for the administrator and that the August presentation would focus on tailoring those duties and the selection criteria.
