Dannheisser,City Attorney DATE: April 14, 2005 RE: Creation of a Blue-Ribbon Committee to Search for a City Attorney Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached Resolution. Reasons: The law does not dictate that a search be conducted in any particular way except to abide by the Sunshine Laws. If a search firm is not retained, then it is good custom and practice that the City create a blue-ribbon selection committee usually composed of the manager and other qualified City Attorneys (hereinafter referred to as the `Committee".) After consultation with the Mayor and City Manager, the following process is recommended to you: The Mayor is suggesting that the selection committee be composed of three City Attorneys, the City Manager, and a business person from the community. The City Manager and I, in consultation with the Mayor, will select the most qualified members. This will involved not only the best qualification but also availability (and willingness) to work within our time frame. The Mayor has also requested that I be available for consultation which I will. The process will then be that an advertisement for the position be placed and/or posted. (This has already been created by Tom and I and a copy of that advertisement is attached for convenient reference.) Second, all qualified applicants will submit their resumes to the HR Department. The resumes will be reviewed and the applicants that meet the minimal qualifications will be passed along by our Human Resources Director to Committee. Qualified applicants will then be reviewed and interviewed by the Committee. The Committee will decide their own process but ultimately will select and rank the most qualified applicants to be recommended to the City Commission.
