Council told to approve job description and hiring process to permit executive-session interviews
Summary
A council participant emphasized that the council must formally approve the job description and hiring procedure so interviews for the city administrator can be conducted in executive session; staff said a draft would be provided and could be refined at the meeting.
A council participant (S7) told colleagues that a formal council approval of the job description and hiring process is a requirement of the recruitment timeline and that approval would enable interview panels to meet and conduct interviews in executive session.
"One of the requirements of this process is that the city approve that job description and the hiring process and procedure formally," the participant said. The speaker added that a draft should be provided at the meeting and that any needed refinements could be made and approved at that session.
The exchange clarified the procedural step the council would need to take before holding candidate interviews in executive session; staff said they expect to deliver a draft job description for review at the upcoming meeting.
