AGENDA ITEM NO. D.1 Item Cover Page DATE: June 20, 2024 SUBMITTED BY: Jessica Zamora, Human Resources ITEM TYPE: For Consideration and Discussion AGENDA SECTION: ITEMS OF BUSINESS SUBJECT: Selection of the City Manager BACKGROUND: This marks the fourth phase of the recruitment process. The search commenced on March 7, 2024, with interested individuals having until April 10, 2024 to submit their resumes and other relevant information to SGR for consideration. Twelve semi-finalists were chosen on April 19, 2024, and proceeded to undergo a comprehensive background and screening process. Five finalists and one alternate were selected on May 15, 2024. Four candidates remain in the process. Each Commissioner will have one on one interviews on June 19, 2024, with each finalist. On June 20, 2024, the Commission will have a Special Meeting to conduct an interview with each finalist. POLICY/PURPOSE: Doug Thomas, Executive Vice President of Recruitment & Leadership Development at Strategic Government Resources (SGR), will join us on June 20, 2024, to facilitate interviews with each of the City Manager finalists so that the City Commission can make an informed decision of the City Manager. STRATEGIC PLAN RELEVANCE: Administration Road Map; Goal 1: Develop, support, and retain a diverse workforce to serve the needs of the community; Objective 1: Encourage professional development and leadership opportunities to support a dynamic workforce. ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: SGR began actively recruiting for a new City Manager on March 7. Out of the 14 semifinalists chosen on April 19, 12 remained active in the process. On May 15, 2024, 5 finalists and 1 alternate was chosen from the remaining 12 candidates. BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS AGENDA ITEM REPORT 3

At this meeting, the Commission will interview each of the 4 remaining candidates then come to a decision. The four candidates are: Charles "Chuck" Anderson Taylor Brown James Slaton Thomas "Ted" Yates FUNDING: The position of City Manager had a total budgeted salary of approximately $170,000 for FY24, before benefits and taxes. The current estimate for FY25 is slightly higher due to salary adjustments assumed for the coming year but can still be adjusted. Assuming the Commission appoints a candidate at this meeting and can come to terms in a reasonable timeframe, the final compensation package can likely be included in the FY25 proposed budget. MOTION: I move to select [Candidate's Name] as the City Manager candidate and authorize the City Attorney to negotiate terms of employment on behalf of the city.
