The Board agreed that an interim person needs to start as early as June 15 but no later <br /> than July 1. <br /> Commissioner Gordon said the Board had mentioned that they would not consider <br /> someone who had been in the previous pool of applicants for the county manager's <br /> position three years ago but what if there were really good applicants that had been <br /> further down in the pool, can they then look at them and the Board agreed to keep their <br /> options open. <br /> Chair Foushee said how do they want to go about identifying an interim manager. <br /> Commissioner Gordon said we usually would go to a county commissioner organization; <br /> either a private firm or the NCACC. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said he would rather use NCACC because they would not charge <br /> for their services and he would like for them to present 3 candidates for the Board of <br /> County Commissioners to interview, with no extensive process or interviews. <br /> Commissioner Gordon said she would like to interview the interim candidates. <br /> Michael McGinnis said there should be a good pool of interim candidates at this time. <br /> Commissioner Gordon asked what does the NCACC offer. <br /> Chair Foushee said they would work for the Board of County Commissioners and send <br /> applications to the Board. The Board of County Commissioners would then initiate <br /> contact with the candidates. <br /> Chair Foushee suggested interviewing three candidates at a time; and if the first batch <br /> does not work out, then as for three more candidates. <br /> Commissioner Gordon said if the NCACC does not work out, then the county could <br /> always hire a private firm. <br /> Commissioner Yuhasz asked about talking with Mercer about fees, etc. <br /> Chair Foushee suggested that the Board may want to piggyback on the current contract <br /> with amendments. <br /> COUNTY ATTORNEY UPDATE <br /> Chair Foushee said she spoke with Mr. Roberts today and we have a signed MOA and <br /> they are able to move forward with the appointment on April 7th or 21st. <br /> Mr. Roberts indicated he can start on April 23rd <br /> The Board of County Commissioners will host an in house reception for Mr. Roberts, and <br /> also Geof Gledhill who is retiring, on April 14th at the Link Government Services Center <br /> from 6-7pm. <br />
