DM Andrus stated that the City is in a different place than the last time, and that the City is very busy. An interim that is not internal is a good thing. She stated that having someone that has done this before, and has done budgeting, is important.She acknowledged the cost. CR Mehl stated this is about how and who we fill the role. He stated that Mr. Winn already has a full- time job. He noted that staff are busy and supports an interim. Mayor Taylor also completely agreed that the interim must be disinterested in the job. He also stated that someone external from the City needs to run the process. He noted the additional expense. He leans towards getting an interim.

CR Pomeroy asked why not put the time and energy into finding a permanent City Manager,she does not support the motion. DM Andrus supports the motion. CR Krauss does not support, he is uncomfortable with the process for vetting the interim.

CR Krauss is comfortable with the motion, it's not a huge issue, he just is uncomfortable with the idea. He thinks staff is capable of doing this as well. Mayor Taylor is going to vote for the motion.

He asked if the Commission wants to solidify the permanent hiring process now. He laid out the principles of expecting a job description approved at a Monday night,the desire to cast a wide net, but the Commission would be involved with narrowing the net.Citizens may be on the committee. A public meeting would be needed for applicants to answer questions. CR Krauss thought that staff could start investigating head-hunters. He stated they City shouldn't go too far until the interim is on board. He suggested having a separate meeting for this issue, possibly once every other week. He likes the idea of having a couple of sub-committees. He encouraged not narrowing A Page 5of13 Bozeman City Commission Meeting Minutes,March 27,2017 to three immediately.They will need to develop criteria.There should be money set aside to bring them here.
