COMMISSION MEMORANDUM

FROM:Rafael Paz, Acting City Attorney and Rafael E. Granado, City Clerk 
DATE:January  13, 2021
 



SUBJECT:DISCUSSION, AND TAKE ACTION IF NECESSARY, REGARDING THE SELECTION PROCESS FOR THE NEW CITY MANAGER.

ANALYSIS

On December 15, 2020, via LTC 450-2020, we circulated the final negotiated contract with Ralph Andersen & Associates, the firm the City Commission selected to administer the recruitment process for a new City Manager. On December 30, 2020, via LTC 478-2020, we circulated the draft Timeline and Recruitment Brochure.

 

In those LTCs, we also advised that at the January 13, 2021 City Commission meeting, we intend to seek direction as to the following matters in connection with the recruitment process, namely: 

 

  1. approval of the proposed Timeline (attached hereto as Exhibit "1");

  2. approval of the draft City Manager Recruitment Brochure (attached hereto as Exhibit "2"), which includes the job profile/job description for the position, so as to formally publish the advertisement for the position and commence the 45-day initial recruitment period, seeking applications for the position of City Manager as early as January 14, 2021; and

  3. approval of any Optional Services, which, if approved by the City Commission, would be completed within the 45-day initial recruitment period, without delaying the proposed Timeline.

 

Approval of the above referenced matters at the City Commission meeting of January 13, 2021, would allow the release of the advertisement for the position and commence the formal recruitment process as early as January 14, 2021.
