Body
BACKGROUND
At the July 26, 2016, City Council meeting, Council approved a resolution authorizing staff to contract with Waters & Company to conduct the City Manager search.
The Council Appointee Performance Review (CAPR) committee met with Chuck Rohre and Miguel Ozuna with Waters & Company to have some initial discussions about the search process on August 2, 2016. During that time, they indicated a desire to conduct stakeholder interviews, as well as utilize an on-line survey, to develop a profile of what the City Council will be looking for in a City Manager. This information would also be used to develop an advertising brochure and to update the job description.
Stakeholder meetings with City Council members and community representatives were held on August 10th and 11th (and on August 18th for two Councilmembers who were unavailable on August 10th and 11th) and the on-line survey was posted from August 12th through the 19th. With the information obtained through these sources, Waters & Company has developed a draft of the advertising brochure language and will be seeking Council's approval on the brochure during the August 23rd Council meeting. Staff has also updated the job description, which will be presented to Council during this meeting as well.
During this Council meeting, the consultant will also discuss and seek direction from the Council on the recruitment process and timeline and the desired interview process.
