Summary

After reviewing four non-confidential applications following a closed session, the committee concluded one candidate lacked desired experience, decided to hold one candidate for further consideration, and reached consensus to have the consultant repost the county administrator position to solicit additional applicants.

Following its closed-session review on April 23, the Berrien County search committee examined the four non-confidential applications and discussed which candidates merited interviews.

The committee concluded applicant 3C did not possess the experience the panel sought and indicated that applicant 1C should be held for consideration with any new applicants. By consensus the committee directed search consultant Chet Janik to repost the county administrator vacancy to gather additional applications; the minutes record this as committee direction rather than a formal motion. The meeting adjourned at 3:27 P.M.

The minutes show HR Director Kristin Reynolds, Corporate Counsel Thaddeus Hackworth and consultant Janik in attendance; no timetable for the repost or interview schedule was specified in the minutes.
