Overview: On January 24, 2018, the Council authorized the Mayor to execute a contract with Developmental Associates to search for a Town Manager. At its February 14, 2018 business meeting, Council offered input as part of Developmental Associates’ job and organizational analysis and reviewed steps in the recruitment, selection, and screening process. One of those steps is to recruit four to six community members to participate in an assessment center scheduled for May 31 and June 1, 2018. Anyone participating in the assessment center must complete a Statement of Confidentiality and will receive training on how to apply behavioral-based rating systems when evaluating candidates.

Recommendation(s): |
That the Council approve a process for recruiting and selecting community members to participate in the Town Manager assessment center process; and that, in the interest of timely appointments, a Council Committee be selected and authorized to recommend four to six community members for appointment by the full Council on May 2, 2018.
Decision Points:
• Approve a process to recruit and select community members to participate in the assessment center
• Select three Council members to serve on a committee to review applications and make a recommendation
Key Issues:
• The Council wishes to appoint between four and six community members with a spectrum of viewpoints representing the diversity of the community.
• Prospective participants must be willing to commit to attending the assessment center on both May 31 and June 1, 2018 and agree to keep candidate information confidential.
