3. Presentation on Administrator Recruitment from Sharon Klumpp, Waters and Co.,a <br /> Division of Sprin�sted <br /> Sharon Klumpp provided and update on the recruitment process and stated revisions per <br /> the Mayor for the agreement have been made. Klumpp stated that moving forward with <br /> the process she will request Council input, which is a critical piece to understand what the <br /> Council is looking for in reference to expectations and a timeline. City Council Members <br /> will be contacted individually for a conference call on January 31 or February 1. Each will <br /> be contacted by email to set up a convenient time. Council is in agreement with that. <br /> The purpose of the conference calls is to assist in creating the recruitment brochure. The <br /> questions were provided in a handout for Council Members to review before their <br /> conference call: The recruitment brochure is scheduled to be ready for advertising by <br /> February 10, 2017. <br /> Klumpp stated that the City Council hires the new administrator but she would also like <br /> department head input as well. Council agreed that an email questionnaire to department <br /> heads for hiring the new Administrator was appropriate. <br /> Loftus will inform staff to expect an email from our consultant with questions to respond <br /> to for the hiring of the new Administrator. <br /> Klumpp reviewed timeline and the process of a video recording of applicants. Candidates <br /> are given a link to video their answer to a question. They are given 3 minutes to answer a <br /> question then the video is forwarded to Council for review. <br /> Walsh said if things fall behind a bit it is good to keep the process flexible to assure the <br /> best candidates. Walsh said we are close to finding an interim administrator and plan to <br /> hire at the February 13th Counci) meeting so that person has an opportunity to spend time <br /> training with the City Administrator. <br /> 4.
