City Administrator Executive Search Richard Fursman made a presentation on the process taken to narrow the field of applicants from the 38 applications received to the 10 applicant profiles presented to the Council this evening. Mr. Fursman interviewed 19 applicants in person or by phone and narrowed it down to ten semi finalists that most closely matched what the City was looking for. He stated the Council now needed to select the top five finalists. Mr. Fursman reviewed the different topics discussed with each applicant, including their interest in Rosemount, their current salary, and whether or not they would be moving from another state. He showed a slide presentation that explained the point system used to score each applicant and also compared applicant scores. The point system took into account the following areas: working with elected officials; growing community experience; budget policy /strategic experience; personnel development and leadership; and decision making. Results were charted by educational degree, number of service years with a city, whether they had served in an executive position or not, and how much time they had served in a fast growing community.
