. ~ ~HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: October 22, 2003 Agenda Item 9.A. TO: SUBJECT: Honorable Mayor and City Council Michelle Wolfe, City Administrator ~ Discuss and Provide Direction Regarding Finance Director Recruitment Process FROM: Overview: . The position of City AccountanVTreasurer has been vacant since February 7, 2003. In September, the City Council approved changing that position to Finance Director, and authorized staff to begin recruitment for filling the vacancy. The position has been posted since late September, and the deadline for applications is Friday, October 24. As of this writing we have five applications and hope to have more by end of the day Friday. Discussion: The purpose of this discussion is to outline the rest of the recruitment process. Here are the steps I am proposing at this time: I. Review and score applications. 2. Select approximately six applicants for a first round of interviews. 3. Based on the interviews select two or three finalists and conduct a management assessment. 4. Final interviews with the finalists. 5. Based on the management assessment and final interview results, recommend a candidate to the City Council. Initial applications will be reviewed on a 100-point scale. This is typically required as a method to meet the requirements of the Veteran's Preference Statute. It also provides a more objective means for evaluating skills and qualifications to determine top candidates. The scoring is based . on the minimum requirements, skills, knowledge and abilities as outlined in the job description.
