TITLE
City Clerk Applicant Discussion
SUMMARY
On December 9, 2019, the City Commission approved the appointment of Christian
Gowan as Interim City Clerk effective December 9, 2019.
Section 4.10 of the City Charter provides that the City Commission, by the affirmative
vote of not less than four(4) commission members, shall appoint a city clerk and fix
the clerk's compensation.The city clerk shall be appointed solely on the basis of
executive and administrative qualifications and shall serve at the pleasure of the
commission.
During the December 9, 2019 City Commission meeting, the Commission provided
direction to Staff to preliminarily sort through the received resumes following the
same process previously used to fill the City Manager position. This involved
separating the experienced, relevantly qualified applicants from the other applicants.
Further, each City Commissioner could individually identify such applicants to present
to the City Commission.
On December 10, 2019, the City published a notice soliciting candidates for the City
Clerk Position. The deadline for candidates to submit qualifications for the position
was January 31, 2020. Approximately 1040 applicants submitted timely
resumes/applications.
On February 10, 2020, City Clerk applications/resumes were presented to the City
Commission.Applicants were preliminary sorted for the City Commission's
convenience into two general categories: (1) candidates with relevant experience as a
city or county clerk or assistant city or county clerk; and (2) candidates without such
city or county clerk experience.The Experienced Candidate List was presented in
alphabetical order by last name. ("Experienced Candidate List") and is attached.
Note: The other candidates without relevant city or county clerk experience had
varying levels of experience ranging from serving in a variety of other local
government positions to having no local government or administrative experience
whatsoever.
The City Commission should review the Experienced Candidate List(from the posting
that closed on January 31, 2020) of relevantly experienced candidates, and any other
808
candidates identified by any of the City Commissioners individually, and take whatever
action the City Commission deems appropriate and necessary in its discretion to
permanently fill the position of City Clerk pursuant to Section 4.10 of the City Charter.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Commission to review the Experienced Candidate
List of relevantly experienced candidates, and any other candidates identified
by any of the City Commissioners individually, and take whatever action the
City Commission deems appropriate and necessary in its discretion to fill the
position of City Clerk pursuant to Section 4.10 of the City Charter.
