Council directs staff to solicit proposals for city-administrator search after review of prior firm
Summary
Personnel committee recommended soliciting at least three proposals from firms with public-sector executive search experience rather than extending the previous firm; staff noted roughly $84,000 in salary savings this year could offset search costs.
Jolene summarized the personnel committee’s review of the city’s prior recruitment firm and said the committee had concerns about the firm’s public-sector experience and candidate vetting. The committee recommended soliciting proposals from firms with demonstrated public-sector executive recruitment experience and returning at least three proposals for council selection.
Council members said they wanted to balance cost and quality; Jolene noted the vacancy in the city-administrator position is generating approximately $84,000 in salary savings this year that could help offset a new search. The council voted to authorize staff to solicit the proposals and return with at least three qualified options for selection.
