<br />J <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br /> <br /> <br />Topic Report: City Administrator Search: Selection of Finalists <br /> <br />By: Givonna Reed Kone, Human Resources Manager <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />Waters-Oldani received more than 50 applications in response to the city administrator job <br />announcement. Consultant Andrea Sims presented the city council with a pool of 13 applicants <br />from which she recommended that 7-10 semi-finalists be selected. The city council selected nine <br />semi-finalists to be interviewed by the search firm: candidates 1,2,3,4,6,9, 12, 13 and 14. <br /> <br />Under separate cover, staff is providing a list of pros and cons for each of the nine candidates <br />interviewed by Waters-Oldani Executive Recruitment. At the June 19th work session, Andrea <br />Sims of Waters-Oldani will be joining the city council by conference call for a discussion <br />regarding the information she gathered in her interviews. After this discussion, the city council <br />will select 4-6 individuals to interview with the city council on-site on July 12 & 13. <br /> <br />Currently, the names ofthe semi-finalists are private information under the Minnesota <br />Government Data Practices Act. Upon being selected for on-site interviews with the city council, <br />candidates' names will become public information. <br /> <br />For the May 29'h work session, council members were given three-ring binders containing <br />resumes and candidate questionnaires. If you did not return your binder to me, please bring it <br />with you to the June 19'h work session. You may need to reference the information in the <br />binder. (Councilmembers Strommen, Elvig & Olson) <br /> <br />Next Steps <br /> <br />Once the city council has selected the finalists (June 19th), the council will be provided with a <br />profile (i.e., information on management style, salary requirements, background check results, etc.) <br />for each finalist. The intent is that the city council will use this information, along with candidates' <br />responses to interview questions, to select a final candidate. <br /> <br />Attachments under separate cover: <br /> <br />. Pros/cons for each semi-finalist <br />. Binder containing applicant resumes and questionnaires for Mayor Gamec, <br />Councilmembers Dehen, Jeffrey, and Look. (Others should have the binder in their <br />possession.) <br /> <br />. CCWS: June 19,2007 <br />
