Item Coversheet
Town of Miami Lakes
Memorandum

To:Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From:Honorable Councilmember Nelson Rodriguez
Subject:New Manager Selection
Date:10/2/2018

Recommendation:

1. Soon after the November election, each Councilmember should received all final candidate's application package's including resume, questionnaire, and interviews.

2. A community meet and greet should be scheduled allowing candidates and residents to interact.

3. Schedule an evening round of interviews with each individual candidate and the Town Council over a one to two day period where each Councilmember asks one specific question and then 2 or 3 general questions. These interviews should be recorded and last about an hour to an hour and a-half and should not be uploaded online until all interviews are completed. After the Town Council interviews the candidates, I encourage all Councilmembers to meet one-on-one with each individual candidate.

4. Schedule a vote to select the new manager at the December meeting.

5. Discuss a January starting date for the new manager.

Fiscal Impact: Item 2 was approved by the Town Council at the September meeting. Funding has already been allocated to complete this process. Item 5 impacts will have to be included.
