Board sets dates, process for county‑manager search and public meet‑and‑greet

Hardee County Board of County Commissioners · June 4, 2026

Summary

Commissioners agreed to a sequence of workshops and interviews (mid‑to‑late June) to evaluate applicants for county manager, discussed ranking criteria and a public meet‑and‑greet reception for finalists, and staff said applications will be provided when the process closes.

Staff told the board the recruitment posting would close soon and proposed workshop and interview dates to allow the board to review applications and establish ranking criteria. Commissioners agreed to hold initial meetings on June 18 (afternoon) and June 19 (morning, if needed), conduct public interviewing on June 29, host a public meet‑and‑greet that evening (5:00–7:30 p.m.), and plan a final decision meeting on June 30 or July 1.

Commissioners discussed logistics — whether to do virtual preliminary interviews, how many finalists to advance to public interviews, and the value of an evening reception so residents and employees can meet finalists. Staff said about 14 applications had been received to date and offered to provide ranking templates and suggested criteria for the board to finalize at the first workshop.
