______________________________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION
The City Council is being asked to select finalists for the City Administrator position.
BACKGROUND
The City of Lino Lakes has been engaged in a search for a new City Administrator. Pat Melvin,
Management Consultant with DDA Human Resources, Inc., has conducted a comprehensive
search and presented eight semi-finalist candidates to the City Council. The Council has
reviewed video interviews and Work Personality Index results for each semi-finalist, identified
by numbers rather than names to maintain the privacy of the candidates.
This meeting is to progress to the next phase of the process, which is the selection of finalists
and interview planning. This selection will determine who is invited for in-person interviews on
Tuesday, April 15th, 2025.
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is being asked to select four to five finalists from the eight semi-finalists based
on the provided materials, approve a policy for reimbursing finalists for reasonable interview-
related expenses, and authorize the option for remote interviews, if requested by the
candidates.
The City Council is also being asked to direct staff to develop a detailed interview day schedule,
panel compositions, and logistics plan based on the Council's direction.
