Councilmember Ruhland asked if the City's communications platforms included an App for resident notifications. The Human Resources & Communications Manager stated that the City uses an e- notification application within CivicPlus. Residents need to sign up for the notification as the City can not send out an e-notice without having them sign up first. 4. City Administrator Executive Search The Human Resources & Communications Manager presented the timeline and next steps in the recruitment process. March 24th the Council will be asked to select the finalists to be interviewed. The interviews are planned for April 15th. The consultant, DDA, will be conducting a background check and work personality tests for all finalists invited to interview. Councilmember Lyden requested that the consultant provide the Council with the name of the work personality test that was to be used in the process. Mayor Rafferty commented that there have been significant advances, under the leadership of the Interim City Administrator, and that he hoped the time required for the onboarding of the new administrator would not slow that progress. The Council discussed the notice period to be negotiated with the new City Administrator. Councilmember Stoesz confirmed with the Human Resource & Communications Manager that the Pay Equity Report was current. Mayor Rafferty commended the Interim City Administrator and Human Resources & Communications Manager on their work on the hiring process. 5.
