This authorization will allow Staff <br />to begin the recruitment process, which is outlined below. <br /> <br />Anticipated process: <br />-Council approves authorization to begin the recruitment process <br />-Staff posts for the position <br />-Staff reviews applications and selects candidates to interview <br />-Staff will conduct necessary interviews of selected candidates and select candidates to be <br />interviewed by the City Council <br />-City Council will interview the selected candidates and choose a finalist for approval <br /> <br />In the past, the full City Council has interviewed Director level positions. Staff is moving forward <br />with this assumption unless Council changes it as part of the approval process. Another consideration <br />when hiring for Director positions, the City has on occasion conducted work-related psychological <br />evaluations. This has not been factored into the above anticipated process. The Council should <br />advise if there is a preference to include that as part of this recruitment process. <br /> <br />Budget Impact <br /> <br />This position is an existing position and already budgeted for; this should not have an impact on the <br />City’s budget. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />Attachment A – Community Development Director Job Description
