Commissioners keep finance-director search open, consider contracting interim help
Summary
The commission agreed to keep the finance-director vacancy open while reviewing candidates, and discussed allowing commissioners on interview panels or contracting with consultants (including Mako) as an interim solution if a qualified candidate is not found.
Commissioners discussed the open finance-director position and the interview process. One commissioner suggested leaving the position open to ensure the right candidate is hired; another noted three current applicants (one remote) and offered to set up interviews. "The position is still open," a commissioner said, adding that the committee and commission would determine who interviews candidates.
Several commissioners emphasized finding a candidate with experience and patience, and rejected appointing a temporary "warm body" without the necessary skills. "I don't think we should just settle on a warm body to have a warm body," one commissioner said, and the group also discussed contracting with consultants (for example, continuing to use Mako) to relieve pressure if an immediate hire is impractical.
