Assistant City Administrator Nelson stated that she would like the Council to keep the door open for the interim to apply but if she had to make a choice she would choose to serve as interim. Assistant City Administrator Nelson also encouraged Transition Team members to conduct a national search for the long term city administrator position. The Transition Team members decided to recommend that the City Council appoint Assistant City Administrator Nelson as interim city administrator and that a national search be conducted for a city administrator. Transition Team members asked the Human Resources Manager to research an appropriate bump in pay and costs and process for a city administrator search to be presented at the December 8, 2006 work session. Transition Team members decided during next year's goal setting session they would like to discuss the qualities, experience and skills they would like a new city administrator to have. Transition Team members asked the Human Resources Manager to draft communications for the newspapers and staff to be disseminated on December 8th or 13th. A Transition Team meeting was scheduled for December 12, 2006 at 8:00am to discuss City Administrator Norman's project list and the role of the Transition Team moving forward.

The regular meeting of the Transition Team adjourned at 9:00 am. Respectfully submitted, Givonna Reed Kone Human Resources Manager ATTEST: Jo Ann M.
