Committee reopens internal-auditor search after recommended candidate accepts another job; members decline two prior applicants
Summary
The audit committee voted 4-1 to recommend Lorenzo Gooch for the internal auditor post, but Gooch accepted another position. Staff reopened the internal-auditor application, and the committee moved to decline two prior candidates, Browning and Keeling, so files could be closed.
Committee members discussed the internal-auditor vacancy at length after a recent special meeting produced a 4-1 recommendation for Lorenzo Gooch. A committee member (speaker 1) said the committee "voted 4 to 1 to recommend, mister Lorenzo Gooch for the position," but staff later reported Gooch accepted another job and the city reopened the internal posting for additional applicants.
Kelsey (staff, speaker 4) told members she had received a small candidate pool and that staffing-agency rebids are underway to widen recruitment. The committee moved to decline two prior candidates so the application files could be closed; the candidates named in the record were Browning and Keeling. Members discussed interim contracting options but said their first preference is to hire an in-house internal auditor when a suitable candidate is available.
