Discuss the Recruitment Timeline and Advertising for the City Administrator Vacancy

The purpose of this discussion is to consider a detailed recruitment process and timeline for the City Administrator position.  In addition, the City Council may wish to look at ways to consider a shortened recruitment schedule in order to reduce the amount of time the city functions without a city administrator.

In addition, staff will provide a detailed list of places of advertising/publication, to match the timeline of the recruitment, as determined by the City Council.   Specific details will be attached to this case Friday.  By way of general information, the City typically advertises, (as appropriate) with the following sources: 

• NeoGov for posting and NeoGov (Government Jobs) Notifications     
• Highway 10 Community Sign
• Internal email notification to staff, Reserve Officers and Firefighters
• “We Are Hiring” signs placed in the lobby and customer service counters
• City Website: Headline, Notify Me, and Spotlight: 
• Facebook
• Anoka Union/Anoka Shopper
• Star and Tribune
• QCTV Cable TV
• League of Minnesota Cities Careers Page and Memberlink distribution
• Minnesota Works.Net
• Indeed
• ICMA
• APA
• EDAM
• Other sources as determined by the City Council

The proposed Recruitment Timeline as well as the City Administrator Community Profile is attached for discussion.

To be determined:
