Mounds View City Council October 22, 2007 <br />Regular Meeting Page 14 <br /> <br /> 1 <br />Council Member Stigney said that this is $15,000 to try and satisfy some unknown residents that 2 <br />he has not heard from. He then said that those with the best judgment on who should serve as 3 <br />City Administrator, are the Council and existing Staff. There is someone who is fully qualified 4 <br />that wants the position, and this would be a waste of money. 5 <br /> 6 <br />A resident indicated that he was part of the process for the internal superintendent position and 7 <br />he feels it is worthwhile to search and not just settle for an internal candidate. 8 <br /> 9 <br />Council Member Flaherty said that this position as City Administrator is too valuable to the 10 <br />function of the City and, though he has no problems with the internal candidate, he feels it would 11 <br />be proper to go out and do the search and have the internal candidate earn the position. 12 <br /> 13 <br />Council Member Mueller said that due diligence is what she expects the City to do and she 14 <br />would like to hire the consultant to conduct the search. 15 <br /> 16 <br /> Ayes – 3 Nays – 2(Stigney/Hull) Motion carried. 17 <br /> 18 <br />8.
