The position is being filled on an interim basis by Deputy County <br />Administrator Dee Guthman. It was posted Jan. 24 to Feb. 21 of this year, and several dozen <br />candidates applied. <br />"While we've had a good group of candidates apply, the board thought it would be <br />beneficial to extend the search timeline a few more weeks," said Mike Gamache, chair, Anoka <br />County Board of Commissioners. "We want to ensure we have the highest quality, most diverse <br />group of applicants for consideration. The position of administrator is integral to the operations of <br />the county, so it's very important we select the right person to lead us into the future." <br />The county is advertising the position on its website, anokacountvmn.ov/coadmin <br />qualified candidates are encouraged to apply. <br />DK:bv <br />r30Ve I'll 1 i?a11'f € c., f 1Y' a :r <br />-30- <br />m; s p piss'v,„11II, IIireireovat.0 a II c IR, es poire IIm;� <br />A Evil atli pAssIlioire / IEo,„IlaII pp oirko,„ireIEulriip m; it <br />fyr°r°il'i,r c)v <br />
