The City <br />Council hired an executive search consultant to assist the City in the City Administrator <br />recruitment process. <br />Discussion: <br />Approximately 50 candidates applied for the position. The executive search consultant <br />reduced that number to 13 and provided the City Council with background information on <br />all thirteen. Each candidate provided a video interview and the City Council reviewed all <br />interviews. At the November 27, 2017 Council meeting the City Council selected six <br />finalists to conduct live interviews with on December 15 and 16. One candidate dropped <br />out and the remaining five candidates were interviewed by department heads and then the <br />City Council. <br />Department heads provided feedback to the City Council in the form of a Survey Monkey <br />open-ended response questionnaire. The City Council then deliberated for approximately <br />3 '/2 hours to select a candidate. The Mounds View HR Committee has negotiated a <br />tentative contract with Nyle Zikmund to become the next City Administrator. The contract <br />is being reviewed by the City Attorney. <br />Recommendation: <br />Approve Resolution 8884, a resolution appointing Nyle Zikmund to fill the position of City <br />Administrator, effective January 3, 2018. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />l <br />Mark Beer, Finance Director <br />
