| The short list for our next county administrator currently sits at 6 names. It could decrease or increase over the next five days but I predict we will have 7-8 finalists to interview on the 29th.... |
We ended last week with an identified short list of 5 names for the Administrator's job, and a very well written final report from our search consultants from FACM.
Three individuals were identified and ranked as the top three finalists, and two names were selected as alternates to round out the top selectees and we started this week with the following five "finalists" from our initial pool of 95 candidates that met the minimum qualifications:
1. Craig Coffee
2. Patrick Thompson
3. Michael Renshaw
Alt. 4. David Strahl
Alt. 5. Kenneth Griffin
On Monday-we were notified that "Kenneth C. Griffin has withdrawn from consideration due to his acceptance of another position."
Today, the board discussed the process and the names of the finalists for consideration and the board added three additional names to the list to be interviewed on April 29th:
1. Christopher Martin
2. Janice Gilley
3. Cedric Alexander
After the meeting, we were notified that Mike Renshaw had pulled his name out of the running. Renshaw, in an email to staff, said:
"I had an opportunity to view the live meeting of the
Committee of the Whole this morning (April 11) pertaining to the County
Administrator selection process. Please withdraw my name from any further
consideration in this process. I wish you well in your future endeavors,
and please extend my thanks to the members of FACM. If possible please
advise your local media of my decision to withdraw as soon as possible, and
confirm your receipt of this email."
This leaves us with 6 names to consider on the 29th.......as of right now.
But the board left the meeting today with the understanding that if any additional names are to be added to the list, these names need to be identified no later than next Tuesday, April 16th. I have the strong suspicion that 1-2 more names will be added between now and then. Which means we will more than likely be interviewing 7-8 finalists on April 29th. This is what the finalist looks like as or right now.
2. Patrick Thompson
3. David Strahl
4. Christopher Martin
5. Janice Gilley
6. Cedric Alexander
7. ? (possible)
8. ? (possible)
Why were 3 additional names added after the initial listed was provided by the consultants? What was the consultant fee charged to the county?
ReplyDeleteI watched part of the Committee of the Whole meeting heard our most senior (been their the longest) commissioner asked that the board control their actions and public statements yet immediately Doug Underhill stoke the lime light of WEAR and acts like he is the one ordering the investigations and he is the one going to Tallahassee to look into things. Then he continues to post on his facebook page similar comments but we can't read what other people are saying. The comments of the public must be blocked How can the BOCC and senior staff continue to put up with him undermining all the rest of the WORLD. Is he the one that LEAKED the letter to WEAR like he leaked economic info also? It just seems like his MO over and over again. Trouble
