Council sets hiring timeline, salary range and names interim city administrator
Summary
Bandera council agreed to advertise a city-administrator position with a salary range of $80,000–$100,000, set a closing date of March 31 and approved the mayor's appointment of Jill as interim city administrator for the recruitment period.
Council discussed where to advertise the city-administrator job and what salary range and qualifications to list. Staff recommended posting on the Texas Municipal League (TML) job board and locally; council members settled on a salary range of $80,000–$100,000 (flexible based on experience) and agreed to close the posting on March 31 so applications could be reviewed and interviews scheduled.
The mayor asked council to confirm an interim appointment for Jill to serve while the recruitment proceeds; the council approved the mayor's appointment of Jill as interim city administrator by recorded vote. Council also debated whether a subcommittee should screen applications or whether all council members should review applicants together; staff will return with a recommended screening process and a plan to notify prior applicants and invite reapplication.
Council directed staff to post the opening on TML and local outlets, to notify applicants from the prior year about the new posting, and to return with a candidate-review approach for council consideration.
