Of ad, application Dead Line, Temporary Replacement (interim City Manager), Search Firm,,
Salary, Experience, New Human Resource Director, etc.

limitation to the appointment would preclude a sitting member of the City Council.

negotiable would be appropriate in the ad. The City Manager requested an amount for the starting
salary. It was the consensus of the Council for the starting salary of $60,000.
