L Deputy Clerk/Treasurer Interview Results The three person interview panel (Jim March, Mari Nelson and Steve McDonald) conducted 45 minute oral interviews with a total of eight candidates. Each candidate was asked a total of twelve questions. Each panel member independently ranked each response for each candidate on a scale of zero through ten. The top three candidate point totals are as follows Teresa Bender - 261 James Bownik - 256 Mona LaBelle - 240 The committee felt that nearly all of the candidates could have been trained to fulfill the primary functions of the position. It was the unanimous decision of the committee that the position should be offered to the candidate with the highest point total. 1 have prior knowledge of the work performance of the highest rated candidate. Ms. Bender is a current employee of the North Metro Telecommunications Commission. I have only heard positive comments in relation to Ms. Bender's performance from her current supervisor. I also spoke to Jim Keinath from Circle Pines in regards to his perceived work performance of Ms. Bender, since he has worked more closely with her as the liaison for the Operations Committee of the cable commission. Mr. Keinath commented that his understanding of Ms. Benders performance was that she appears to run all aspects of the office of the cable commission and appears to be successful at her job. Ms. Bender indicated that her minimum salary to accept the position would be $27,500. Ms. Bender is required to provide a three week notice to her current employer. I would recommend offering the position to start at Grade 4, Step 2. The corresponding salary when adjusted by the factor of the cost of living is scheduled to be $27,888 as of January 1, 1998.
