PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
City Charter Section 4.01. City Administrator: Employment, Compensation and Qualifications states that the City Council "shall employ a City Administrator on the basis of merit for an indefinite term. The Administrator shall not be the Mayor or a Councilmember at the time of employment and need not be a resident of the City or state at the time of employment."
Current City Administrator Tina Volek will be retiring effective September 30, 2017, therefore, an interim City Administrator needs to be appointed until a permanent City Administrator is hired.

ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
City Council may:
- Appoint an interim city administrator from current staff; or
- Recruit an individual from outside the organization to serve as interim.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
- An individual from inside the organization would customarily receive a 15% salary increase for the duration of the appointment.
- An individual outside of the organization would likely contract with the City Council regarding salary and other terms.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council appoint an interim City Administrator while the search for a permanent Administrator is being conducted and that person assumes the office.
