Assistant City Administrator Nelson <br />indicated that she would be interested in serving as interim city administrator if asked to do so. <br />Assistant City Administrator Nelson asked if the Transition Team members had made a decision <br />regarding allowing the interim administrator to apply for the long term position.

Elvig also stated that he's <br />concerned if the interim person is actively pursuing the long-term position, he or she will be <br />posturing themselves to achieve their best advantage at that said goal.
