Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Dennis M. Taylor, Interim City Manager
Bethany Jorgenson, Human Resources Director
SUBJECT: Work Session to Determine the List of Finalists for City Manager
MEETING DATE: September 7, 2017
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Executive Session
RECOMMENDATION: Determine the privacy interests of semifinalist candidates for the
vacant City Manager position outweigh the public’s right to know regarding their candidacy. If so,
we recommend closing the meeting to review these semifinalist candidates and to select finalists
for next steps.
BACKGROUND: The City Commission has selected a group of semifinalist candidates for the
position of City Manager. During the September 7, 2017 meeting, Ron Holifield, CEO of Strategic
Government Resources (SGR), will assist the City Commission in narrowing the group of
semifinalists to a group of finalists for City Manager. Through the initial review process these
candidates have expressed a privacy interest in their candidacy at this stage of the process. The
candidates understand that should they be selected as finalists the public will be informed of their
candidacy.
Once finalists are selected, they will be invited to participate in interviews in late September. If a
candidate accepts the invitation to participate as a finalist their name will be released to the public.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS: None.
