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.

8 Names, One Day, and We'll Have Our Next County Administrator

The eight candidates that will be interviewed on April 29th are:

Craig Coffee
David Strahl
Patrick Thompson
Chris Martin
Janice Gilley
Cedric Alexander
Kimberly Washington (added at the dais today)
Ricardo Mendez (added to the dais today)

We will begin on April 29th with individual, one-on-one interviews of each candidate by all board members, utilizing the schedule above, or one very close to this.

After lunch, the board will interview all candidates as a group.

After this, the board will rank the slate, 1-8

The top three will be interviewed again, and the final vote will be taken.

We will continue our due diligence on each candidate individually over the next two weeks.

On April 29th we will conduct the interviews, make the vote, and select our next administrator.
