REGULAR AGENDA
500) Discussion on City Manager Selection Process
Mayor McCann reiterated the important nature of this decision and shared concerns about losing
candidates if the process took too long.
Brief discussion followed on possible formats for in-person interviews.
Ms. Audra Cross, Korn Ferry, noted that candidates would typically have one full day in the community.
Further discussion followed on availability, timing of interviews in relation to holidays, considerations
related to JLAC, and who would be brought forth for an interview.
Commissioners Resnick and Colangelo shared concerns about the top scored candidate and the
process respectively.
Further discussion followed on the pool of candidates, involvement of past staff in the process, the
possibility of the City advertising the position separately while continuing with the in-person
interviews of the current candidates, and the further concerns about timing and potentially losing
candidates. The Commission agreed that dates to be considered for in-person interviews were
November 20, November 30, and December 1.
