County Administrator Search: 28 Total Applicants, 13 finalists divided into 2 Tiers, to be Presented to Board this Thursday

This Thursday morning we will be given a report from GovHR-- the firm that is conducting our Administrator Search.  My understanding is that we will be getting a full report, a full package with the names of all 28  applicants from 15 states, and the complete resumes for the 13 applicants that are considered finalists, broken into two tiers.

My understanding is that this information will be provided to the public as well, after appropriate redactions are made.

This information will be brought forward by County Attorney Alison Rogers for discussion by the board.

This Thursday morning at the committee of the whole.

Should be a good discussion, and my prediction is it will be a short discussion.
