Suarez Personnel Committee Page 2 October 8, 2003 Vice Chairperson Kowall stated this meeting was scheduled as a result of a motion passed by the Board of Commissioners on October 2, 2003 to, "Reopen the process for the appointment of an Administrative Director and refer the item back to the Oversight Committee who will initiate a new search for an Administrative Director through internal and external advertisements. That said process shall include a weighted and objective evaluation process with criteria set involving the Personnel Committee. The recommendation of the Oversight Committee shall be referred to the General Government Committee who shall make a recommendation to the Full Board of Commissioners." The Committee discussed methods of advertising the position and will recommend to the Oversight Committee that advertisements be placed on the County website, in a local newspaper, trade magazines and the NACo and MAC publications. The Committee suggests a time frame of 30 to 45 days for this process. Interviews should begin 14 days after the last publication. This allows applicants sufficient time to respond by filling out a County application and submitting their resumes and references. Each Committee member present submitted a list of criteria for selecting an Administrative Director; the following is a consolidation of the attributes considered most important: Financial background, Communication skills, Analysis, Management/Administration, Government experience, Organizational skills, Technical/computer skills and flexibility. Douglas moved the Vice Chairperson appoint a Study Group to define the issues of: the weight to be assigned to each criteria, the process for interviews and a standard set of questions to be asked each interviewee, etc., in an effort to move this issue forward in a timely manner. Supported by Suarez. Motion carried on unanimous roll call vote with Middleton, Hatchett and Rogers absent. Sue Ann Douglas, Eric Wilson, George Suarez and Eileen Kowall were appointed to serve on the Study Group. They will meet on Friday, October 10, 2003 at 9:30 a.m. ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business to come before the Committee the meeting was adjourned at 11:50 a.m. _______________________________________ _______________________________________ Nancy Wenzel, Committee Coordinator Helen Hanger, Sr. Committee Coordinator NOTE: The foregoing minutes are subject to Committee approval.
