Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Dennis M. Taylor, Interim City Manager
James Henderson, Human Resources Director
SUBJECT: Work Session to Determine the List of Finalists for the City Manager
MEETING DATE: April 3, 2020
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Executive Session
RECOMMENDATION: Determine the privacy interests of 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 candidates and to select finalists for next steps.
BACKGROUND: Joshua Jones, recruiter for CPS-HR has selected for presentation to the
Commission a group of candidates for the position of 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. During this meeting, Mr. Jones will present his recommendations
for the top 4 candidates. These 4 candidates will interview via Microsoft Teams. Commissioners
will have the opportunity to review Mr. Jones’ recommendations and determine which
candidates are to be chosen as finalists. Once finalists are selected they will be invited to
participate in interviews at a later date when travel restrictions will allow finalists to come to
Bozeman. If a candidate accepts the invitation to participate as a finalist their name will be
released to the public.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: No unresolved issues.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission
FISCAL EFFECTS: None
