Council signals nationwide search for new city manager, may piggyback contract used by New Smyrna Beach
Summary
Council expressed support for a nationwide recruitment for a permanent city manager and directed staff to explore piggybacking a Strategic Government Resources contract used by New Smyrna Beach; staff noted a not-to-exceed cost roughly $27,900 and potential travel expenses.
Council members agreed Sept. 20 to pursue planning for a nationwide search for a permanent city manager and to explore piggybacking a contract used by New Smyrna Beach with Strategic Government Resources.
City staff explained the firm is a nationwide service; staff noted New Smyrna’s contract was not to exceed roughly $27,900 and that the city could face additional costs for candidate travel or open houses. "It's a nationwide service," staff said when describing the consultant; council members said they wanted a "proactive leader" with experience handling flooding and rapid growth to apply.
Council asked the city attorney and interim management to examine contract options and to bring a piggyback contract to a future meeting for formal approval before any recruitment begins.
