CITY OF CENTERVILLE <br />REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br />Agenda Item # Department: Requested Council Meeting Date: <br />February 12, 2025 <br />Administration <br />_WS 1 <br />TITLE OF ISSUE: <br />City Administrator Search <br />BACKGROUND AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: <br />At the last two City Council meetings, the Council has discussed whether to use a consulting firm to conduct a <br />search for the next City Administrator. Five firms submitted proposals; three were interviewed. Council <br />directed staff to check references on two firms. Information on those reference checks are attached. <br />If the Council desires to use a consulting firm, it should discuss the merits of the two firms still being <br />considered. If the Council wishes to avoid this cost, staff urges a thoughtful review of several factors: a) the <br />outgoing administrator will not be around long enough to conduct the search b) the Interim Administrator and <br />other staff members may be candidates, so it would not be appropriate for them to conduct the search c) if the <br />council directs the personnel committee to conduct the search, the city attorney will likely have bills of several <br />thousand dollars related to this work. On the regular agenda, there is an item to facilitate a vote on this issue. <br />COST AND SOURCE(S) OF FUNDING: <br />TBD - As outlined in proposals; Unknown cost for city attorney if Personnel Committee is used. <br />REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION: <br />Discussion Only. <br />For ClerkÓs Use: <br />SUPPORTED DOCUMENTS ATTACHED <br />Motion By: ____________________________________ <br /> Resolution Ordinance Contract Minutes Plan Map <br />Second By: ____________________________________ <br />Vote Record: Aye Nay <br />_____ <br />Other (specify) ____________Reference Check info.
