Summary

After reviewing three RFP responses for an executive search firm, councilmembers signaled a preference for GMP based on prior work in nearby municipalities and consultant experience. Staff and legal counsel outlined open-meeting constraints and recommended using a search committee for efficiency.

Town staff told the council three competitive proposals were received for the town manager executive search and recommended targeting firms experienced with mountain-resort communities. Staff asked council for direction on firm selection and additional scope; proposals were circulated to council for review.

Council discussion centered on whether to interview firms live versus choosing on paper and how open-meeting laws shape the process. Multiple councilmembers said GMP checked the boxes based on references and prior Silverthorne work; the council coalesced around contacting GMP as the next step. Staff and counsel explained many search tasks require public action if done by the full council and suggested forming a small search committee to narrow candidates before public interviews.
