We are recommending to you James Coan. Mr. Coan has <br /> extensive police command experience and is currently the Chief of Police of Whitewater, <br /> Wisconsin. <br /> Mr. Coan was selected using an intensive evaluation process. Each of the 15 applicants was <br /> measured against the job description and the job requirements by the cities' administrative staff <br /> That reduced the number of applicants to seven who were scheduled for interviews and six �� <br /> applicants continued through the interview phase. Applicants were then interviewed by a panel <br /> of three Anoka County Police Chiefs, a panel consisting of the Lexington City Attorney, <br /> Centerville and Circle Pines City Adnunistrators and Interim Public Safety Director Bob <br /> Shellum. A third panel consisted of the Captain, a police officer representa.tive and a CSO, as <br /> well as the Centennial Fire Chief. <br /> The scoring from each of the three panels was assembled and three finalists were recommended <br /> to the Governing Boazd who interviewed them. In addition, the final three candidates were sent <br /> for a Leadership and Management Assessment by a forensic psychologist. An outside firm was <br /> also hired to conduct extensive background checks on each of the candidates to make a <br /> determination if there were any issues that would detra.ct from their ability to act as police chief <br /> for the Centennial Lakes Police Department. <br /> All of the interviews, background checks and Leadership and Mana.gement Assessments indicate <br /> that Mr. Coan would do an excellent job as police chief for the Centennial Lakes Police <br /> Department. We therefore respectfully request that you ratify our recommenda.tion of Mr. Coan <br /> as Police C1uef, as provided for in the Joint Powers Agreement. <br /> As background information, I have provided you a copy of Mr, Coan's resume and a copy of the <br /> application questions answers he provided. <br /> 78 <br />
