CITY OF ORONO MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: January 25, 2021 <br />TO: Mayor Walsh, City Council members <br />FROM: City Council Members Victoria Seals, Aaron Printup, and City <br />Clerk, Anna Carlson <br />RE: City Administrator Search Update <br /> <br />Advertisement of the City Administrator position began on January 12th. The Organizational Committee <br />is meeting weekly with the City Clerk to work through the hiring process as directed by the Council. <br /> <br />Currently the city has received eleven applications. The position was advertised in many places including <br />the local paper, the City’s website, and on other websites. The advertisement directs applicants to visit <br />the Orono Jobs page on our website. Currently, the posting has had over 400 views or interactions since <br />the posting went out. The message is getting out and we are receiving some very highly qualified <br />applicants. <br /> <br />The committee met this past week and discussed the next steps in the process. As we approach the <br />deadline of February 8th, applications will be reviewed as they come in. After all applications are <br />received, the pool of applicants will be narrowed down and will be shared with the City Council <br />Members. The Organizational Committee anticipates opening discussions with the Council at the next <br />Council Work Session. At that time the City Council will also have a chance to rate and select Candidates <br />they wish to interview. The Council may choose to schedule a Special Meeting to discuss the matter <br />further, if desired. <br />
