qualifications they have to have and the desired qualifications are what they are really looking for <br />and the applicant is scored on. In situations it can be revised however Council would like. <br /> <br />Deputy City Administrator/Community Dev. Director Hagen replied he has a different job <br />description than what is in the packet. The position profile that is in the packet is for his position. <br />He stated the focus of the position will change based on what Council picks for the job description. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley commented that he liked some of the language in Councilmember Howell’s <br />handout. He would like to see someone with some business experience but it seemed to him that <br />the way it is worded they are looking for something else but would accept someone with traditional <br />city experience. He liked the idea of opening it up and using business as something they are <br />looking for. <br /> <br />Councilmember Howell asked if it read “Master’s degree in Public Administration, Business, <br />Finance or related field and seven to ten years of executive leadership experience or a combination <br />of education and broad work experience acceptable to the City Council,” and if that would satisfy <br />that to say it is important but it would be equivalent. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley replied that is exactly what he would have done. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff commented he liked the change, that it reads better. He suggested <br />adjusting it from a block of text to bullet points so it read more like two separate qualifications. <br />He suggested removing the working general knowledge and software section because he felt it was <br />vague and didn’t get into the specifics that he would want. He thought the current City <br />Administrator probably had to know how to find Municode as a part of his job. He suggested not <br />going overly broad but agreed that having a working knowledge was ok instead of requiring that <br />they have to know the software. He thought generically it makes sense and he didn’t oppose <br />someone coming in that is outside of the city world if it is the right candidate. He liked the idea <br />of leading with the civic experience first. <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich agreed with the software that if someone has been successful in business <br />either as an executive or CEO and they have a working knowledge of software needed to conduct <br />business, that it wasn’t something that would be needed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Howell agreed with striking that sentence and flipping the two items at the top <br />and putting an or between them. <br /> <br />Mayor Kuzma asked if there were any other areas. <br /> <br />Administrative Services Director Lasher asked for more explanation on the sentence that reads <br />“proven experience as either a City administrator” and if that should be quantified at all or if that <br />falls into the seven to ten years’ experience. If that should be one year or five years. <br /> <br />Councilmember Howell replied she thought to look at the person as a whole package. She hoped <br />the applicant wouldn’t be really young and have just done something for a short time. She <br />City Council Work Session / February 22, 2022 <br />Page 11 of 13 <br /> <br />
