Memorandum
To:
City Council
From:
Jim Genellie
Date:
June 10, 2011
Subject:
City Manager Search
The Brimeyer-Fursman team will be at the June 14 Worksession with a list of possible
candidates for the Hopkins City Manager position.
The City Council will be asked to choose five or six individuals to be interviewed.
The names of candidates are private data until they are designated as finalists. During the
process of discussing the candidates, they will be referred to by number. Reference to the
candidate's current city should also be avoided as this would identify the candidate.
The Brimeyer-Fursman team will explain the process fully at the Worksession.
After the finalists are chosen, the City Council needs to discuss the interview process. I
have reserved the JC Studio for the evening of Thursday, July 7. 1 have attached the
interview and orientation process which the City used in 2004. We can follow that process
or look at doing some things differently.
