Update on City Administrator Hiring Process <br /> Mayor Grant reported that he and Councilmember Holden sit on the Personnel Committee. <br /> This group had started the negotiation process with a City Administrator candidate and an offer <br /> was extended. He reported that the Personnel Committee was not able to come to terms with the <br /> applicant and the position was declined. This action removed the applicant from the pool. <br /> Mayor Grant stated that another individual from a neighboring state was recommended by the <br /> consulting firm. He indicated that Interim City Administrator/Director of Finance and <br /> Administrative Services Iverson held an informal conversation with the Council regarding this <br /> matter and two were in favor of moving forward and two were not. He explained that at this time, <br /> the City may have to relist the position and create a new candidate pool for this summer. <br /> Councilmember McClung supported the Council moving forward in this manner in order to <br /> generate a more highly qualified candidate pool. <br /> Councilmember Holden commented that she could wait until this summer as well. <br /> Mayor Grant indicated that the consulting search firm has stated that the candidate pool was <br /> limited at this time for City Administrator positions. <br />
